A rape was reported early Saturday morning in the alley behind Kilroy’s Dunnkirk, according to the IU Police Department daily crime log. According to IUPD, an officer happened upon two people while driving, a 20-year-old student and a 28-year-old unaffiliated with IU, engaging in what appeared to be sexual activity at 2:30 a.m. According to the 20-year-old victim, the suspect had initiated sexual contact without consent. The suspect told the IUPD officer consent was given. Both met earlier at a local bar, which they left for the nearby alley behind Dunnkirk together, according to an IUPD statement. IUPD has made no arrests and is currently investigating the incident. The identities of the suspect and victim have not been released. Carley Lanich

IUPD reports online blackmail

Holt was dismissed “effective immediately for demonstrating exceptionally poor judgment in the circumstances surrounding his recent citation,” according to the press release, a joint statement by the IU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and the men’s basketball program.

From IDS reports

The IU Police Department is investigating an incident of blackmail occurring on multiple social media platforms. On Friday, an IU student accepted the friend request of an “attractive female” on Facebook, according to an IUPD statement. The victim then agreed to meet the Facebook friend via Skype after she agreed to show her breasts. The female who appeared on Skype was not the same person who had friended the victim on Facebook, even so, the victim did show his penis to the female in the Skype call. The victim received a Facebook message the next day demanding $4,500 or else the Skype video of the victim’s penis would be posted on YouTube. The video was posted to YouTube after the victim refused to pay the blackmail money. IUPD is still investigating the incident. It is unknown if the female blackmailer is an IU student, and no suspects have been named.

The 19-year-old sophomore was reportedly observed with a 750 milliliter bottle of vodka by uniformed Indiana State Excise Police officers around 12:50 a.m. Aug. 22, along with freshman teammate Thomas Bryant, who attempted to conceal a 1.75 liter bottle of vodka. The players were passengers in a parked vehicle at Convenient Food Mart at 1401 N. Dunn St. “Freshman Thomas Bryant, as a result of his citation, is receiving internal team discipline and is subject to additional discipline for any future failure to live up to his responsibilities to the

program,” according to the statement. Holt is the third player to be dismissed from the team this offseason. Former Hoosiers Devin Davis and Hanner Mosquera-Perea were dismissed from the team in May after Davis was cited for possession of marijuana, an incident in which Mosquera-Perea was present but not cited. It was both players’ second off-the-court incident. Mosquera-Perea was arrested in February 2014 on OWI charges — SEE DISMISSED, PAGE 5

IUPD begins regular patrol of residence halls By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich

Amidst the many freshmen and resident assistants, a different kind of student can be found within the residence halls at IU. Starting last week, part-time officers with the IU Police Department began regular residence hall patrols. The patrols are designed to cut down on incidents occurring within residence halls while building community relationships between officers and students. During weeknight and weekend shifts, part-time officers are in each residence hall on campus. These officers, who are typically IU students themselves, have all gone through police cadet training and are armed the same as full-time officers.

“These officers are peers,” said IUPD Lt. Andy Stephenson, who organizes the program. “They’re student aides. They are actually students themselves, so they have a little bit better opportunity, more access to build those trusting relationships. We want the students to see the police department as a resource.” The part-time officers’ shifts range from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. Thursdays and 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Stephenson said. IUPD also has nine part-time officers, called live-ins, that live in residence halls and work closely with BARI GOLDMAN | IDS IU’s Residential Programming and Officer Michael Anderson lives in Tulip Tree Apartments as a live-in officer to help SEE IUPD, PAGE 5

IU Police Department begin regular residence hall patrols. “It’s just a wonderful program,” Anderson said. “I know the people that I recruited with at my company, they love the fact that I was a police officer. It’s definitely not a typical job on campus.”
