ON CAMPUS
Car abandoned on stairway driver to appear in court
A 20-year-old Lawrence resident wedged his car between two handrails after he tried to drive the car down stairs between Wescoe and Budig Halls Saturday, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
The car—a white Honda Civic—was found near the bottom of the stairs about 5 a.m. Saturday, Bailey said. Officers at the scene found five bottles of Bud Light, at least one of them empty. They were not able to contact the driver and the vehicle was towed. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $800.
The driver then allegedly walked to Allen Fieldhouse and stole a red 1985 Honda Elite moped, valued at $250, Bailey said. The man drove the moped to Oliver Hall where he tried to start fights, Bailey said. KU officers were dispatched to the hall, but the suspect wasn't there. Witnesses told officers the suspect was driving a moped that had been left near Oliver Hall.
The officers contacted the suspect near 23rd Street and Lawrence Avenue and cited him for disorder conduct.
The owner of the moped reported the theft at 9:24 a.m. Sunday, Bailey said. Officers interviewed the suspect again. The moped was recovered. Damage to the moped was estimated at $250.
During the interview Sunday, the resident mentioned wrecking the car near Budig Hall. He said he was too intoxicated to remember how or why he drove the car down the stairs, Bailey said. The
suspect said he had not stolen the moped.
