On Nov. 8 a reporting officer was dispatched to the Good Building to respond to a report of an assault that occurred around 8:14 am in the Phelps Hall Laundry room. The officer made contact with the Complainant who claimed that the Victim had been hanging out with her friend, the Accused. The Complainant stated that the victim had wanted to do her laundry by herself and had told the Accused to leave her alone. The Complainant then stated that the Accused became angry and hit the Victim on the back with an open palm. After the assault had occurred, the Complainant received a phone call about it. The Complainant informed the officer that the Victim’s roommate was a potential witness, and that her roommate had observed a red mark on the Victim’s back. The Complainant did not receive any photographic evidence of the red mark on the Victim’s back. The officer informed the Complainant that an incident report would be initiated and that the Accused would be referred to the Dean of Students.
On Nov. 11, a reporting officer was conducting patrol at the intersection between Cherry Road and Richmond drive. The officer observed a blue Chevrolet truck driving in the rain with no headlights on. The officer initiated a traffic stop and came to a stop at Cherry Road and Deas street. The officer made contact with the Suspect and informed him that he did not have his headlights on. When the officer ran the Suspects license through NCIC it came back as suspended and the officer informed the Suspect of this. The officer then observed a butane lighter on the Suspect’s seat and asked him for permission to search his car. The Suspect consented to the search and the officer detained him with double locked handcuffs. The officer searched the vehicle but did not discover any contraband, he then informed the Suspect to call someone to come and get the vehicle and he removed the handcuffs. The officer observed that the reason for the Suspect’s licence suspension was due to failure to pay for traffic tickets. The officer contacted dispatch and asked them to run a criminal history to see if the Suspect had any prior convictions for driving under suspension. Due to the Suspect failing to pay the traffic tickets, the officer decided he should be taken to Rock Hill City jail and booked for driving under suspension 1st offense. The Suspect’s mother arrived and took possession of the vehicle and the Suspect was taken into Custody.
On Nov. 20 two officers were near Celanese road and Mount Gallant searching for a Subject that ran from a Rock Hill Police Department traffic stop when he noticed a vehicle with no headlights coming up from behind him. The officer activated blue lights and initiated a traffic stop. While the officer was asking the driver for her credentials, he was notified by dispatch that the plate on the vehicle was suspended. The officer asked the owner of the vehicle if she was aware that her plate was suspended, to which she informed him that she did not know that her tag was suspended since everything was up to date on her registration. The officer explained to the Subject that her tags were suspended due to an insurance drop on her vehicle, and she informed him that she had just paid her insurance. The officer then asked her for her licence, and after running a check, he discovered that her license was suspended as well. Both of the suspensions were enacted the day prior, and the Subject explained that she did not know. Since the license and tags had only been suspended the day before, the officer explained to the Subject that he was not going to issue a citation but he would have to take both the vehicle and the licence because they were suspended. The officer escorted the vehicle back to the Bronze lot by the Courtyard where he seized her tag. The officer explained to the subject what she would need to do in order to get her tags and licence reinstated, and she explained that she understood. Both the license and the vehicle tags were turned over to RHPD so they could be turned over to the DMV. The officer issued the Subject a warning for driving without headlights on.
