When a male student returned to his vehicle at 11:45 a.m., he discovered syrup poured through his cracked driver’s side window. The syrup soaked the driver’s seat and floor, and the student’s parking permit was missing off the inside of his windshield.

The vandalism is suspected to be in connection with an argument over the parking stall that occurred at approximately 10 a.m. A confrontation ensued between the man and a car full of female students, according to the report. A security officer was present to mediate the confrontation, and awarded the parking stall to the man.
