While conducting a routine check on the Phase building, an officer noticed four males in the Roos Field parking lot. They appeared to be underage, and the cop approached them to find they had cigarettes. One of the males reported that he was only 17 years old. He was detained, and the police called his parents to come pick him up, but his mother said her car was missing. Her son had stolen it and parked it in Lot 12. The mother did not press charges and no arrests were made because the boy was already on probation. Charges were sent to his corrections officer.
