Drug Offense, April 2

Police were called to a dorm in Brewster Hall because one person was concerned their underage roommate was smoking marijuana. Police came to search the room with consent from the roommate, but did not find or smell anything in the room.

 

Theft, April 2

Two female students were upset with a male student who stole their Kindle and vape pen. The women were not too fond of the male who was in their dorm, so they left their dorm with the student in it. When they came back to their dorm they noticed those items were missing. The female student was able to go online and see that the male had registered her Kindle under his name, making it easy to prove he stole those items. Police confronted the student and he eventually gave the items back.

 

Suspicious Circumstance, April 4

One of the EWU professors alerted police after he got a pro-Nazi letter. The teacher is Jewish and attends a synagogue on Sundays in Spokane.
