Corporal Jacob Foster was informed by dispatch at approximately 12:42 p.m. that the victim called dispatch to make a report about someone breaking his door.

Foster had the victim come to the police department and fill out a statement. He told Foster that on Thursday, between 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., he heard a loud bang and people running away. He did not check the door until later that day and realized it was damaged. Nothing was stolen from the residence. Facilities already came and patched up the door so it would close properly.

The victim and his roommates did not press charges.

Upon reviewing the camera footage, Foster saw four black females exit the room across from the victim’s at 11:51 p.m. on the North Park Quads (NPQ) building 2 camera and walk up to the victim’s residence and a black female wearing a yellow hoodie kick in the door. 

The suspect and other females ran back into their room. A few minutes later they came back out and looked at the damage of the door, laughing, and then went back into their room.

After reviewing more camera footage, Foster located the suspects’ vehicle, a silver four-door sedan parked in front of NPQ 3. The suspect got in the vehicle with another female at 12:06 a.m. and proceeded to drive to Red Wolf Den apartments and drive around them twice before exiting the NPQ exit gate onto Caraway and leaving campus at 12:12 a.m.

After looking at the camera footage, Foster could not get a visible enough picture for the license plate to be legible.

At approximately 1:32 a.m., Patrol Officer Marcus Caskey was conducting an extra patrol in the parking lot of Pack Place when he noticed a silver Toyota parked, not running, with the door open. 

A female was lying on the ground on her back, hanging out of the vehicle with the bottom of her dress up around her midsection, exposing her lower body from her abdomen down.

After stepping out of the patrol unit, Caskey made contact with the suspect. After checking on her, Caskey assisted her from the ground to a nearby curb, where she could sit while he investigated the situation. The suspect refused medical attention. 

The suspect then gave Caskey her name and date of birth. After running her through dispatch, Caskey began to ask her why she was lying on the ground. 

She said she did not know how she ended up there or how she got there. She then informed Caskey that the vehicle belonged to her sister. Caskey asked if she drove the vehicle and she said she did not. While speaking with her, Caskey noticed signs of impairment such as watery eyes and confused speech. 

Caskey asked if she had consumed any drugs or alcohol. She said she was at a registered event at the Lambda Chi fraternity house and she consumed alcohol while at the event. At which point Caskey had her stand up and place her hands behind her back, restrained her with handcuffs and placed her under arrest. Caskey informed her he was placing her under arrest for her safety. No keys to the vehicle were located on her person or in the vehicle and no drivers license was found.

The suspect was brought back to Caskey’s marked patrol unit. The back seat was checked and she was then placed in the back of the unit. Caskey asked her if she would submit to a breathalyzer test and she said she would. She had a blood alcohol content of .185, meaning she was legally intoxicated. She was transported to the Craighead County Detention Center.

Caskey told her she was being charged with purchase or possession of alcohol by a minor and public intoxication. He informed her of her court date and she was then turned over to the jail staff of Craighead County Detention Center.

Officer Robert Kary was dispatched to the Arkansas State University Police dispatch window to take a report for a reported cyberbullying incident that occurred at Pack Place. 

Upon arrival, Kary spoke with the victim. The victim said that she was looking to be a real estate agent and was taking classes. The victim said someone posted a job offer on Facebook Marketplace saying that she could list properties and talk to customers for them, and they would pay her once a week. 

The suspect provided pictures of a California Real Estate Salesperson License with the owner

listed and a contact number. The suspect also gave the business name. The victim saw this as an opportunity to add real estate listing experience to her resume and accepted the offer.

The victim later discovered that when she would forward inquiries on the listings she posted to the suspect’s number, the suspect was allegedly scamming customers by collecting the deposit and the first month’s rent, and then blocking or not responding to the customer.

The victim confronted the suspect on Facebook Marketplace and told him she was calling the police to make a report. The suspect then started making threats, stating the victim should lock her door and hire police to keep watch on her and that she “will continue hating it once she dies.” 

The suspect stated he was going to send nude photos of her on social media. The victim said she never sent nude photos to the suspect, but thought they would use AI to generate one.
