Two Hillcrest residents were arrested last week after causing damage to a parking ramp gate arm.

The incident occurred at 1:17am Thursday.  The first student was observed on camera pushing the furthest west gate arm in Lot 3 in an upward position.  The student’s action left the gate arm in a nonfunctional state. Shortly afterward, the second student pushed the gate even higher, causing more substantial damage. The gate arm will need to be replaced as a result.

Both men were charged with 4th degree Criminal Mischief, a serious misdemeanor punishable by a jail term of up to a year each if convicted.
