Crime Blotter

Vehicle vandalized in faculty parking lot

The owner of a black GMC Yukon reported her car vandalized at 6:35 a.m. on Feb. 23 in Parking Lot 9, Goodwin said. The owner, a 44-year-old woman, said she discovered an eight-inch key mark along the side doors of her car after leaving her car parked overnight. Goodwin said that it is highly likely that the act was “intentional and not random” based on the fact that it happened during the night.
