A Facilities Management worker reported one female and one male individual trespassing the facilities’ territory and attempting to access the locked facilities building. Officers responded but were not able to make contact with the suspects. This case was referred to the LASD.  

Burglary — Horton Hall

Reported on Oct. 29, 5:33 a.m. 

Officers attempted to make contact with a female suspect trying to leave campus. After the suspect left campus, Campus Safety concluded that video footage showed the female suspect entering through a window of Horton Hall and stealing items she was not holding onto when entering. The footage also showed a male suspect passing by Horton and leaving campus through the horse trail next to the creek. After clarifying the situation as a burglary at 6:46 a.m., video evidence showed that the two suspects were the individuals who trespassed through Facilities Management at 5:33 a.m. Here are the descriptions of the two suspects from Campus Safety’s alert email: 

Suspect 1 is described as a white female in her mid 20’s, with an average build and long black hair. She was wearing a black Champion-branded windbreaker, grey shirt with lattice front, jeans, black and white Vans shoes and carrying a white canvas bag with Cookie Monster on the side.”

Suspect 2 is described as a Hispanic male in his late 30’s to early 40’s, with an average build and thinning dark hair. He was wearing a black visor, beige jacket, black hooded sweatshirt, jeans and blue and white tennis shoes with red stripes on the side.”

The case has been referred to the LASD. 

Fire-Mechanical Cause — Eagles’ Nest

Reported on Oct. 29, 12:08 p.m.

An Eagles’ Nest employee reported black smoke coming out of an oven in the kitchen. No actual fire was present. The case was resolved by turning the oven off.

Micah Kim, Managing Editor
Micah Kim is a senior journalism major who loves Radiohead, produces music, and admires people that can do a perfect backflip. Born in Pennsylvania, having South Korean blood in my pulsing veins and hacking my way through family missions in China, life had been full of complex colors that I could not name. Finding ways to express my way out of the constant stress I was in was always full of music until I found writing as my new set of crayons. Fortunately, I had one of the most amazing opportunities to explore my writing at The Chimes for about two years going from News Staff Writer to News Editor. Now as Managing Editor, I get to be involved with a more wide variety of journalistic skill sets like photography and design. I hope as an international multimedia journalist, I’ll be able to lead and guide our newspaper to become more diversely cultured and opinionated. Other than writing, I constantly put effort into tasting distinct music. Yet, my all time favorite band is and will be Radiohead. If you guys don’t enjoy Radiohead, too bad. You’re missing out.
