Two separate incidents on the weekend of September 20 lead to eventual arrests.

The first incident occurred at around 7:15 p.m. on Saturday September 20. Two former students were involved in a domestic dispute which continued in front off Department of Campus Safety Officers.

SGT Joshua D. Bronson came on the scene as the male subject was yelling profanities at the female subject and pulling her close to him. SGT Bronson found a 7-inch black automatic folding knife on the man, according to the arrest report. The male had two previous trespassing violations after being asked not to return to McDaniel College.

The second incident occurred early Sunday September 21, at 1:15 in the morning. A suspicious couple in Blanche Ward Hall was reported to Campus Safety by an RA. An officer was sent and found vandalism in a room, and the couple that matched the description.

The female was an alumna of McDaniel College, and she appeared to be intoxicated, according to Mike Webster, Director of Campus Safety. She said that she had come from the Wine Festival on Saturday, and after being verbally abusive towards the Campus Safety officers, she and the male subject left in her car.

Westminster Police later arrested her for drunk driving.
