University Police arrested a Territorial Hall resident Feb. 17 for burglarizing another resident’s room.
Erik Fleming, a College of Liberal Arts freshman, reported the burglary to his community adviser at the residence hall after the Feb. 15 incident. Police were notified after hall management filed a report.
Police arrested a 19-year-old woman in connection with the burglary. A CLA freshman, the woman has not yet been formally charged with the crime.
University Police Sgt. Jo Anne Benson said the burglary is still under investigation.
According to police reports, the woman entered Fleming’s unlocked room while he was still in bed around 11:15 a.m. on Feb. 15.
Fleming said he saw the woman rummaging through his wallet but by the time he jumped off his lofted bed, the woman had fled the room. He said he looked for her down the hall, but could not find her.
When Fleming looked in his wallet after the woman had left he said he noticed that $10 was missing.
The police report included information concerning a similar burglary from the beginning of the school year. According to the report, the same woman entered the room of Scott Gueltzow, a freshman in the School of Kinesiology and Leisure Studies. He said he informed police of the incident because it was so similar to Fleming’s report.
Gueltzow said the woman entered his unlocked room around 11 a.m. while he was still in bed. He said he did not suspect anything until he got out of bed, when he discovered $100 in cash missing from his room.
When he asked the woman why she had come into his room unannounced that morning, Gueltzow said the woman told him that she needed to ask him a question.
Ralph Rickgarn, executive assistant for Housing and Residential Life, said the woman is still living at the residence hall. A hearing to decide whether or not the woman’s housing contract should be suspended is pending, he said.
“We usually step back and wait for the court system to run its course before we make a decision,” Rickgarn said.
The woman declined to comment on the incident Tuesday. She said she has been advised by her lawyer not to discuss the matter.
The woman does not have a criminal record in Hennepin County.
