UO weathers
year of crime
From misdemeanors to high
crimes, Eugene has seen its
share of crime in 2002-03
Caron Alarab
Safety/Crime/Transportation Reporter
From fraud, fires and self
fondling library patrons to alleged
police brutality, blemished busi
nesses and swindled identities, a
fair share of injustice and unex
plained crime has appeared on the
Emerald front page this year.
Although campus and local au
thorities have done their best to
track down faceless culprits, their
lack of evidence and time have left
the majority of cases open without
any promising leads.
In the past term, the Depart
ment of Public Safety has been in
vestigating a report of eBay fraud
after a student sold an item on the
site and never received a verifiable
payment. Additional information
is being withheld as the case is still
open, but Associate Director Tom
Hicks said DPS is waiting to see if
the out-of-area station located in
the student’s hometown will take it
over. DPS officers currently do not
have any suspect information,
Hicks said.
The Eugene Police Department
still has not apprehended a sus
pect in the series of arson at
tempts made in the West Universi
ty neighborhood in mid-April. EPD
spokeswoman Kerry Delf said the
case has not been closed because
investigators are still working on
suspect leads.
In a case against EPD, Universi
ty junior Josh Williams — who was
allegedly a victim of police brutali
ty in late February — has set a tri
al date for later this summer be
cause the defendant did not offer a
large enough settlement.
“I had decided I would settle
only if it was an outrageously good
amount,” he said. “(The defen
dant’s) offer was ridiculous.”
Considering he will be fighting
forest fires all summer, Williams
will not be able to attend the trial,
which he said will most likely be
delayed until September.
“The hard part is that things will be
postponed,” he said. “Hopefully my
witnesses will be around fall term.”
Also in late February, the Knight
Library was the scene of a rash of
masturbation reports filed with
DPS, but Hicks said there has not
been a public indecency report
filed on campus since winter term.
Three local businesses were victim
ized in early February in what EPD
determined to be a series of similar
vandalism incidents. Delf said the case
has been suspended because of a lack
of suspect information.
In late January, DPS received a re
port of possible identity theft after a
female student received a suspicious
call during which the caller request
ed and received a wealth of valuable
personal information. Since the re
port, DPS has not been able to ap
prehend a suspect.
