On February 9th at approximately 1am a group of presumed Shepherd students were seen throwing chunks of ice at cars in H-Lot, according to the campus police and the owner of one of the affected cars.
Candace Kenney, a secondary education major, told The Picket she received a telephone call around 1am from a friend who was returning to campus. She said the friend reported seeing “approximately six people” throwing ice at cars in H-Lot. Kenney’s friend suggested she inspect her car for damage.
Kenney stated her car was parked between Martin and Boteler Halls. Upon checking her windshield, she found that damage had been done.
Kenney surmises her windshield to have been hit at least three times. The windshield was cracked and spider-webbed. She also said her driver’s side doors had visible dents with ice stuck to the dents.
According to Kenney the Shepherd University police officers who responded told her at least two other cars had been damaged by ice, but her car had sustained the most noticeable damage.
Chief John McAvoy, of the campus police, indicated that suspects were seen running from H-Lot toward Moler Hall. He further encouraged anyone with information to contact the SUPD at 304-876-5374 or the investigating officer at rbleigh@shepherd.edu.
