A non-injury traffic accident was reported last week to campus Safety and Security.
On Oct. 22, Safety and Security Officer Tim Densmore reported he saw two vehicles stopped at Faculty Circle and J. L. Keels Boulevard.
According to the report, the first vehicle was pointing the wrong direction on J. L. Keels Boulevard.
Michellel Korenblit, driver of the first car, told Densmore her car spun around when the second car hit her car, causing her to be facing the wrong direction.
She said the accident was not her fault.
Korenbilt told Densmore she stopped at the stop sign and when she pulled out, the driver of the second vehicle was going too fast and hit her.
However, the other driver, Milton Sherman, gave a different version of what happened.
Milton told Densmore he was “crawling along” when Korenbilt pulled out from the stop sign and hit him.
Densmore inspected the damage to both cars.
The vehicle driven by Korenbilt had the rear door panel knocked off the car.
In addition, there was damage to the rear left panel, left rear rim of the tire, and the rear.
There was no noticeable damage to Sherman’s car.
In another incident, a student reported the theft of her digital camera on Oct. 20.
Anayeli Paez, 19, said when she was finished in the Communications Lab that day and was ready to leave, she noticed her bag had been disturbed and her $200 Fiji Film digital camera missing.
She had been sitting next to a man earlier.
Densmore said in his report that Ike Sloas, Safety and Security director, reviewed video footage and saw the man go to the bus stop and leave campus property.
Even though campus security said they suspect this man of the theft, no arrests have been made.
If anyone has any information about these or any other crimes or incidents, please contact Safety and Security at 405-680-1611, ext. 7691.
