embers of the Rollins softball team and community have consistently fallen victim to vehicle break-ins since the team started practicing

and playing at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in 2004. The Winter Park Police Department (WPPD) said 17 incidents of criminal activity have been reported in the parking lot over a five-year span. On Oct. 7, two players had their cars broken into while

practicing. Jordan Davis ‘19 and Whitey Foyer ‘20, two transfer additions to the softball program, walked out to their car to find the window completely smashed in, with Foyer’s phone and wallet missing. They reported the incident to the WPPD and Campus Safety. This incident

was deemed just one example of a recurring problem at this location. The details of the incident were outlined in the WPPD’s police report. Davis’s car suffered a smashed window valued at $300. Foyer’s iPhone 7, wallet, and wallet contents were stolen

from the front seat of her car, with the total value coming out to $650. Contents included her driver’s license, school ID, and debit card.
