Campus Security Log

Rip-Roarin’

Neighbors called the College May 19 after hearing what sounded like chain saws. In the southeast woods across from the 800 Building, Security found what was classified as destruction of property. Hammers and shovels were left at the scene. The suspects were apparently cutting down trees to create their own bike jumps, said Sgt. Becky Gibler, adding that this isn’t the first time.

Aid Calls

• Campus Security responded to a call from the Dental Hygiene Clinic to assist a patient who was having a seizure on May 20.

• A security officer responded to a Shoreline classroom where a student was having a seizure May 21. Shoreline’s Fire Department was called for backup.

• Security was called to Shoreline’s daycare facility on May 29 when an employee was experiencing difficulty in breathing.

Code of Conduct Violation

• Due to outstanding parking tickets the tires on a car were being locked on June 2 when two students and two non-students approached security and began to harass them. When asked for identification they refused, thus violating the College’s code of conduct. The Shoreline Police Department was called.

• A student outside the PUB violated Shoreline’s code of conduct by smoking within 30 feet of the building on June 3. When asked to leave the student refused. Gibler noted that this was not the students’ first offense.

Harassment

A phone call was made to Security when trespassing non-students were reportedly harassing Shoreline’s library staff May 20. They were banned from campus for 365 days.

Hit and Run

• A parked car was hit by another vehicle in the parking lot on June 2 and witnessed by a Northwest Security officer. The driver was stopped and waited by the scene while Shoreline’s security was called.

• The driver of a Mitsubishi Gallant reported a hit and run after returning to the vehicle and finding visible back-bumper damage on June 5.

• The right front fender of a blue BMW was damaged in a hit and run, reported June 25. A note was left on the windshield with contact information, but repeated attempts to contact the offender failed. The case was referred to Shoreline Police.

• Near the 2100 Building on June 25, a student’s foot was run over by a reckless driver in a blue or green Honda. The student’s foot was bruised, but no bones were broken.

Irate Student

A student trying to access transcripts at the information desk on June 19 became irate when told of an unpaid parking ticket they claimed wasn’t theirs. Later the student realized it was their ticket, and paid the fine to clear their transcript.

Public Drunkenness

An unidentified person appeared to be drunk at Shoreline’s main on-campus bus shelter May 7. The College is the last stop on many Metro routes, and as a result transients sometimes end up here, according to Gibler.

Report of knife

Security was called to the 1400 Building May 27 after a report that a student had a knife. When police arrived the student was gone. The student later returned to cooperate with Campus Security and denied accusations of possessing a weapon.

Small Fire

Security responded to a small beauty bark fire near the library on May 20, and immediately extinguished the smoldering landscape. “Most likely, the fire was started by an unattended cigarette,” said Gibler.
