August 1 - Abandoned baby (Building 900) - An officer in the Student Conduct office was approached by a woman who said there was a baby in a carrier by itself in the housing laundry room. The woman said she had waited for 15 minutes for someone to come back for the baby, but no one had.
The officer removed an ID card from the purse with the baby and as he was calling the information into dispatch another woman showed up and snatched the card from him, picked up the baby and tried to leave the laundry room.
When the officer told the woman she could not leave until she had shown him her ID and given her information, she ignored the officer and responded she didn't have any ID while still trying to leave
the area.
After being restrained by the officer and told she would be arrested for disobeying a lawful order, the woman stopped. When asked by the officer why she had left her baby alone in the laundry room, she said she needed to go into the Housing Office to get a refund for the broken laundry machine. When questioned by the officer, the woman denied being a resident or a student of the university.
The woman was issued a trespass warning from campus because of this incident and prior ones as well, which she signed as "Devil." When she was encouraged to collect her laundry and leave campus, the woman called UNF racist and made references to slavery, South African Apartheid and noted that the officers were white and she was black.
The woman eventually left campus and officers discovered she was registered for two summer classes and two fall classes.
