Larceny

Late on Sept. 26 to early on Sept. 27, a 20-year-old male, unaffiliated with MSU, told the story of his long night which ended in robbery. He told police he was meeting with a friend at a gas station before coming to MSU. After parting ways, the next memory he has is waking up at Sparrow Hospital. A jogger had found him lying outside the MSU Union. Apparently, he took an unknown substance from an unknown stranger. He reported his wallet, his cell phone and work clothes were stolen.

Domestic battery

Between Sept. 19 and Sept. 20, a 19-year-old male student assaulted his 19-year-old male student roommate. The subject suspected the victim of stealing his wallet so he punched him in the chest. In a twist of fate, he found his wallet just afterwards. He did apologize for the misunderstanding and the case has been forwarded to the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office for review. 

Distribution of marijuana

Two individuals, neither of whom are affiliated with MSU, were stopped by police on Grand River Avenue at 11:57 p.m. on Sept. 28. The 21-year-old male was driving without a license and released, while the 20-year-old male from Lansing was found to have a warrant out of Eaton County for distribution of marijuana. He was processed and turned over to Eaton County. 

Burglary

Between Sept. 15 and Sept. 18 at North Wonders Hall an 18-year-old female student reported $400 stolen from her top drawer. She also mentioned her suite mate had $100 stolen in the same time period. The case is under investigation.
