Jan. 16 Suspicious Behavior (Osprey Crossings)- An offi cer met with a complainant who said she was being bothered. The student said she met and exchanged numbers with another student during the fi rst week of school. She gave this student a tour of UNF since it was his fi rst semester. Since then, the POLICE suspect has continued to contact her and make her feel nervous and uncomfortable. She cancelled a date with him, and he became very upset. He demanded to see her and give her some “homemade sick tea” at her dorm room. She explained to him that she does not want to be in contact anymore.
