Public Safety Report

The following is a list of infractions reported by Cabrini College Public Safety between Feb. 4-Feb. 11. The dates cover from midnight to midnight

On Monday,Feb. 4, there was a theft from two rooms in Woodcrest. One hundred dollars was stolen from three women in $30, $20 and $50 increments.

On Tuesday,Feb. 5, there was a theft of a credit card. The credit card number was used for a $178 purchase in the campus bookstore, lie sitting area and not a bathroom, the remote possibility of it being an accident was terminated.

On Saturday,Feb. 9, two citations were written for drinking in the New Residence Hall.

On Sunday,Feb. 10, there was a fight on Residential Boulevard.Three visitors were turned over to Radnor TownshipPolice.

There was also a fight between houses four and five. There was also a theft of a cell phone, on Feb. 10. It was taken from House three and has since been recovered.

Residents of the apartment complex are being issued the same fine as those in the vandalized house. Visitation rights for the apartments will not be restricted, however.

David Carpenter, director of residence life and student life, cannot put his finger on the motive for the crime and is still unsure as to whether or not the criminal or criminals are Cabrini students.

" I have a hard time understanding the behavior that would lead to something like this," Carpenter said. "It's not appropriate in our college or anywhere in our society, but someone is doing it. I would love to find who is responsible to get some answers."

Carpenter does not believe for certain that the party or parties involved are associated with Cabrini.

"All in all, the students here are an exceptional group," he said. "It's sad that we have to live with things like this, and I hope it's not a student here. If it turns out to be a guest, the residents are still responsible, but at least it wasn't their idea."

Public Safety is not formally investigating the cases and do not believe at this point that they are related. Although Public Safety does not handle visitation rights or similar citations, reports of the incidents have been filed and will be kept on record for future reference, if needed.

Charles Shaffner, director of Public Safety, commented that no investigation is underway and "no samples have been taken."

Presently, the cases are being handled as public area damage, of which there is a clearly defined definition in the Cabrini College Student Handbook.

"Unless we have someone come forth and take the blame, there isn't much we can do other than treat it as a vandalism case," Shaffner said. "We expect students to assist us in finding those responsible so we can put an end to this."

Residents of the Dixon House regained visitation rights as of Tuesday, Feb. 12.

With no potential suspects undergoing interrogation or promising leads, the case of the fecal phantom is still wide open. Meanwhile, residents of Cabrini may want to watch their step.
