SMU Student Damages Fountain, But It’s Kinda Funny
Every once in a while I peruse the SMU crime blotter, reminiscing and wondering how I could convince Dan to allow me to write a “Never Been Kissed“-style story about the ins and outs of college life. It’s usually full of stolen laptops and kids who get caught blowing weed smoke through a toilet paper roll stocked with dryer sheets, but today’s search included this gem:
120012 10:53 PM. Criminal Mischief: Dedman Life Sciences Bldg./3110 University Blvd. An unknown person caused damaged to the fountain by pouring Dawn dishwashing liquid into the water fountain. Open.
The search continues for this bubbly bandit.
This used to happen about once a month when I went to school there.
Apparently we didn’t lose a Merritt, we gained a Bradford who also loves fountain bubbles.
You’ve got a real dog-bites-man story there. What, exactly, makes this a “gem”?
Actually, it’s kind of lame. And old. And tired. If you are going to be an ass, at least be original.
Did they do forensics? How did they know it was dawn?
Come on Bradford! Ask the tough questions!
I like these police blotter stories that are picked for seeming absurdity. I still remember some kid at what was then Minyards in Snider Plaza that was scared because some old man knew his name. Turned out the man was his Sunday school teacher. Of course it was Park Cities people did the write up that made it entertaining.
There was also a story of somebody stealing 23 1/2 Mambo Chews from 7-eleven. The half that was left behind has always tormented me.
@Khakijack – You are making me laugh! Funny comments!
You are all on double secret probation now!
It happens about once a month at local HP fountains. Hey Bradford, you stay over on your “secret red comment button side”, or tell the rest of us how to access, what about it???
@GMOM, This post is from a year ago, Bradford doesn’t work for them anymore.
