An alarm was activated early Saturday morning at Showalter Fountain, causing the IU Police Department to respond and find one fish had been knocked over.
When officers arrived, they found 22-year-old IU student Jeffrey Zifrony walking away from the fountain. His clothes were wet, said Mark Land, associate vice president of university communications.
Zifrony was arrested and preliminarily charged with public intoxication and
criminal mischief, Land said.
He said people always seem to think stealing the fish is a good idea.
“This happens once or twice a year, it seems,” Land said.
