An unidentified man verbally harassed two students in Sellinger Lounge Sunday night. The man, who had previously been seen bothering others in the vicinity, accused the two students of stealing his cell phone before being detained by Department of Public Safety officers.
Akite Daniel (NHS ’10) and Toni Hudson (NHS ’10) were studying in Sellinger Lounge at approximately 10:30 p.m. when an unidentified man, who they said seemed mentally unstable, approached them and began to complain that he had asked a female to guard his cell phone but that she had walked away.
“I thought he was genuine, and I was going to help him,” Daniel said.
Moments later, the man picked up a cell phone from the ground nearby, stating that it was his phone but that his phone charger was missing.

Approximately 15 minutes later, two DPS officers arrived and confronted the man, taking him aside to speak with him about the incident.
“I don’t have to prove to you that this is my cell phone,” he shouted at the officers.
A physical scuffle ensued between the man and the two DPS officers, during which he made claims about being detained illegally. Trying to reenter Sellinger Lounge, he was restrained by one of the officers but managed to break free. The two DPS officers, along with four others who arrived at the scene, then chased him out of the Leavey Center as he shouted, “You can’t do this to me! I worked on the 1992 Clinton campaign!”
