Underage Drinking

A white male was reported being severely intoxicated on the Marshall University plaza on Sunday, Sept. 20. Upon arriving at approximately 12:21 a.m., Marshall University Police Department stated that the male was unresponsive even after several attempts to wake him were made. Cabell County Emergency Medical Services came to the scene and made a discovery while trying to obtain identification. The male had a driver’s license from Pennsylvania, which was determined to be fraudulent, as a second ID. The male’s real drivers license was from Maryland. The suspect had red, glassy eyes and slurred speech indicative of being under the influence of alcoholic beverages. Warrants were placed on file for his arrest for unlawful drinking and possession of a fraudulent or fake ID.

 

Petit Larceny

A student reported on Monday, Sept. 21, that his credit card was taken from his backpack on Sept. 19 around 2 p.m. while on the Rec Field. The unknown person who took the credit card made two transactions. Two transactions were made for VISA gift cards at two separate locations. The student discovered the card missing later that evening and was unsure by whom or how the card was taken and used at previously mentioned locations. Video evidence was obtained from the businesses in order to identify the suspect. Currently MUPD has two suspects.
