The assault allegedly occurred on the corner of South University Avenue and State Street. AAPD and DPS units were unsuccessful at locating the witness. AAPD Sgt. Mike Logey said he has no further information about the assault. He could not report the details surrounding the incident and did not say whether the witness or suspect has been located.
DPS received a call on Saturday reporting a South Quad Residence Hall resident was using marijuana.
When the suspect saw DPS officers arrive at the scene, he fled down the stairs toward the back of the building. The suspect was apprehended on the Monroe Street side of the residence hall. He was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana.
After officers apprehended the suspect, the caller told the 911 operator that an irate man was threatening to hit him inside a South Quad room. The operator could hear the potential assailant swearing in the background.
Officers returned to the scene to take an assault report. Reports do not state whether charges were filed.
The employee said the library staff were sent to meet with the suspect, a University graduate student, after an alarm went off at the door. The student was caught exiting the library with several pages torn out of two different journals. The caller said the suspect admitted she took the papers without permission.
The suspect apologized for the theft and library employees told DPS they did not wish to press charges.
The caller said a lot of smoke was present in the room and the smoke detector had sounded. Police reporting to the scene said the fire was extinguished and the smoke was cleared.
Reports do not indicate whether the room or the toaster sustained permanent damage.
No police reports was filed.
The officer said the person was not breathing and had no pulse. The 911 operator notified Huron Valley Ambulance and the medical examiner. HVA said the man was dead on arrival.
The medical examiner said the death was from natural causes. Reports do not state the man's identity or whether he has any surviving family members.
