- Emory Police Department (EPD) officers received a call on Dec. 28 at 7:40 p.m. that a tall, black male subject was attempting to flag down cars at the intersection of Oxford Road and Eagle Row. The subject, who identified himself as “Eugene,” was asking drivers for money for his family in what appeared to be a scam, according to witnesses. The officers were unable to locate the subject.
- A custodial supervisor found an unknown male subject sleeping on the sixth floor of the 1599 Clifton Road building at midnight on Dec. 29. The subject was not wearing any shoes and left the building as soon as the supervisor spotted him.
- An EPD officer responded to a call about vehicle damage at Starvine parking deck on Jan. 6 at 6:04 p.m. The owner of the vehicle stated that an unleashed dog had struck and damaged the side of the car. A woman had been walking the dog nearby without a leash. After the incident, she retrieved the dog and took it away to a veterinarian, but she left her business card with the car owner.
- EPD officers responded to a call about a black male subject sleeping on a sofa in a second floor room of the Dobbs University Center (DUC) on Jan. 8 at 3:19 p.m. The subject was not a student, and EPD had arrested him once previously at Emory University Hospital Midtown. He said that he was there at the DUC to retrieve property. Officers returned the property, which EPD had been holding, and escorted the subject off-campus without any problems.
- A female student called EPD on Jan. 10 and stated that unknown persons had entered her apartment — located in Building G of the Clairmont Residential Center — and removed a suitcase filled with clothes sometime between Jan. 5 at 5:30 p.m. and Jan. 10 at 6 p.m. The total value of the contents of the suitcase is approximately $1600. EPD officers found no signs of forced entry, but facilities management or maintenance workers had evidently entered the apartment on Jan. 6 to change a filter. The case has been turned over to an investigator.
