Suspicious Circumstance/Voyeurism, April 17

EWU PD has caught a man, who for the past year, has been spying on men and following them into the men’s bathroom. Police said he would put paper over the sensors so the toilets wouldn’t flush, and one person caught him peeking under the stall while he was in it. Police believe there may be more victims out there and ask that if you were a victim of his spying to contact them.

Fraud, April 21

Last Saturday a student reported to police after she was scammed out of over $900. These scammers called her mother first saying her daughter needed to go to jury duty or there would be a warrant out for her arrest.About an hour later they called the female student and said there was a warrant out for her arrest and in order to pay it off she would need to send them $915 in prepaid cash cards. She bought those from Safeway and gave the information to the scammer who got away with the money. Police have been able to trace the callers from the Tacoma area, and ask people to be on the lookout for similar such scams and to contact them if you believe you are being scammed so they can look to see if there has been other reported scams in the area.

Drug Offense, April 21

A CA from Streeter Hall called police to alert them of the smell of marijuana on the fifth floor. Police arrived and confronted the student who said he had to keep it in his room because his car was broken down off campus and it was getting towed away, so he couldn’t leave his marijuana there. Since the student was over the age of 21, he will get his product back if he wants to pick it up from the police station on campus.
