Intoxicated IU student trashes Geology hallway

An IU student is being charged with two class A misdemeanors for vandalism and battery, IU Police Department Lt. Craig Munroe said.

At about 5:30 p.m. Saturday, after drinking at the football tailgate, the student called his ex-girlfriend and went to see her at the Geology Building. The female student told him it was over and did not want to see him anymore, Munroe said.

The male student then threw a recycling bin through a display case outside room 245, threw the bin down the hallway and ripped down papers hanging on the walls.

After the female tried to stop him, he grabbed her forearms and shoved her into a wall. The male left and the female cleaned up the hallway and called the police, Munroe said.

The police could not immediately locate him and later determined he went to his father’s house.
