February 5, 2024 - AACC DPSP #2024-000015, DPSP #2024-000016

As previously reported, several vehicles had property stolen from them last Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024, from Lot D, with attempts to enter other vehicles on Lot C and G. Through investigation, and with the assistance of the Anne Arundel County Police and law enforcement in Delaware, the college’s Department of Public Safety and Police was able to develop a suspect. That suspect has since been interviewed and criminal charges are being sought.

As with most theft from vehicles, this was a crime of opportunity where the criminal did not use force to enter vehicles but simply checked random vehicles until he found ones that were unlocked. Please remember to always lock your vehicle and secure any valuables in your trunk or glove compartment.

INCIDENT INFORMATION

Harassment/Possible Stalking – Arnold Campus

The college’s Department of Public Safety and Police (DPSP) was recently made aware of incidents of harassment and possible stalking by a known male AACC student involving several female students over the past several weeks. The male student in question had been barred from all college property by DPSP while the investigation continues and is reviewed by the Office of Community Standards and the Title IX coordinator.

Some information regarding stalking

What is Stalking? (As summarized from the Maryland Code by the Maryland Network Against Domestic violence and the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault)

In Maryland, stalking is a crime and is legally defined as a persistent pattern of approaching or pursuing someone in order to make them feel afraid that they or someone else will suffer serious injury, assault, rape, or sexual offenses, false imprisonment or death.

What can you do about a stalker?
• Document all communication with and from a stalker.
• Keep an incident log containing all harassing text messages, voicemails, emails and posts to social media. By using the print screen button on your computer, you can save emails and social media post by pasting them into a word document.
• Stop by DPSP for a printed incident log or create your own.
• Take photos of any property that may be damaged or any injuries sustained and save copies to add to police reports or legal documents.
• File a report with the police and give them a copy of your incident log and photos. Keep originals for yourself. Use a P.O Box address to maintain privacy. Your report may become public record.
• Obtain a peace or protective order. Give a copy to the DPSP. 
• Do not talk to a stalker. Tell them only one time that you do not want any further contact from them. If they contact you after that, record it on an incident log.
• ALSO, have your cell phone with you at all times. If you feel like you are being followed, do not go home. Go to a busy place.
• Park in well-lit areas and be aware of your surroundings. Walk with someone or call campus police for an escort while on campus. (410-777-1818)

UPDATE - 10-6-22

Through investigation, the Department of Public Safety and Police identified the subject and conducted an in-depth interview with him. It was determined that the subject was attempting to engage the student in conversation and pursue a social relationship, but there was no intent to criminally stalk the student. The subject has been counselled on this matter and DPSP does not believe the subject presents a threat to the college community. DPSP greatly appreciates the response they received from the campus community on this matter.

Incident Information

Suspicious Subject/Possible Stalking: Arnold Campus (Truxal Library, Careers Center and Health  and Life Sciences Buildings)

On Thursday, Sept. 29, 2022, an AACC female student reported that she believed she was being followed throughout her day at the Arnold campus by an unknown male subject. Beginning at approximately 8 a.m., the student observed the subject in the Health and Life Sciences Building where he spoke to her and inquired about her studies and would she be interested in socializing with him. She declined his interest and the subject left the area. Later in the morning the same subject approached her again in the library and made the same request of her. The student again declined his interest and the subject left the library heading toward the quad area. In midafternoon, the student observed the subject near her vehicle in Lot D, as she sat in it eating her lunch. There was no contact or interaction with the student at this time; however, she did report seeing the subject again at approximately 1 p.m., peering in the window of one of her classes on the third floor of the Health and Life Sciences Building.

Investigation by Public Safety and Police would indicate the subject was following the female student throughout the campus. The subject was described as a black male, dark complexion, 20 to 30 years of age, approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall, bald or close-cropped hair, dark blue hooding with a large Under Armour logo on the front, grey pants, white tennis shoes.

Attempted Theft, Parking Lot B/Arnold Campus

AACC Public Safety & Police were notified by a student of the college that on Thursday evening, Nov. 8, 2019, at approximately 10:30 p.m., a student walking to her car noticed a subject standing next to her driver’s side door as she approached her vehicle.

The student moved around to the passenger side and unlocked her car to place her personal items in the car, at which time the unknown subject entered her vehicle and sat in the driver’s seat and continued to ask for a ride. The student remained outside of the vehicle and demanded the subject exit her vehicle. At one point the subject attempted to take her personal items from the front passenger seat but exited the car without the items. The student was able to safely enter the driver’s side of the vehicle, lock herself in the vehicle and exit the parking lot. The student reported the incident once she arrived home; however, a student witness reported the incident using a campus blue emergency phone while the incident was in progress.
