An officer received a dispatch call to Mynders Hall regarding harassing phone calls. Once at the scene, two roommates advised the officer they had been able to record parts of the harassing calls with an answering machine.
The officer listened to two calls which had been recorded about five minutes earlier. One of the roommates stated she had received a similar call just before recording the other two.
The partially-recorded calls stated who the call was from and that they were pre-paid calls from a prison. They also gave instructions on how to receive, decline and block all calls from prison. The roommate stated she never spoke to the caller.
According to reports, one of the students told the officer she was familiar with the caller's name and recognized him as a person she dated in 1995. She identified the caller as a man serving a four-year sentence.
The officer advised the roommates to block all calls from the prison and to save the two calls in case they were needed as evidence later.
