Man found using drugs, vandalizing in psychology building on Sunday

Chicago Bears jerseys, marijuana and vandalism don’t necessarily have anything in common with one another, but Sunday afternoon they were all involved in the vandalism of the psychology building, to which the IU police were called Sunday afternoon.\nThe caller reported a Hispanic male wearing the football jersey, smoking marijuana and carrying a sign that said “Informatics,” IU Police Department Sgt. Rebecca Lucas said, reading from a police report.\nWhen officers arrived they found IU informatics graduate student Vincent Diaz on the second floor of the psychology building, vandalizing school property.\n“Officers followed what sounded like a large commotion going on up there, knocking stuff off the walls,” Lucas said.\nDiaz didn’t cooperate with officers, so he was secured and searched. Police found a small amount of marijuana, Lucas said. He also had a rope tied around his chest.\nDiaz was transported to the Bloomington Hospital, where he was cleared and taken to the Bloomington police station, Lucas said. However, he refused to talk to officers at the police station and was taken back to the hospital.\nA probable-cause affidavit has been filed for Diaz’s arrest on the grounds of criminal mischief and possession of marijuana under 30 grams.
