More Party House Problems and Graffiti
Despite complaints last week, party house problems persisted this weekend on both the 400 block of S. Laurel and 400 block of S. Cherry.
According to one neighbor:
“They had another huge loud party last night. (VCU Police) Officer Felton and RPD went out last week and spoke to them. It made no impact, since just a few days later they were back to it.”
In addition to more litter this morning, blue paint graffiti tags were found nearby:
Party House Complaints On 400 Block of S. Laurel
Heard there have been some problem parties held by new student tenants on the 400 block of S. Laurel, including some from last night.
A neighbor pointed out to the police a passed out individual nearby who was later taken to the hospital by ambulance and identified as a VCU student.
Fence Vandalized On Idlewood
There have been a few complaints about some incidents this past weekend, this being one of them:
This week, there is an article in the VCU Commonwealth Times, where VCU Police Chief Venuti is quoted,
“A lot of times, people exiting a party will draw out attention. Even if you are registered, if people are leaving, (ed. note: emphasis added by me) smashing things, fighting or peeing all over the place, we come into the picture,” Venuti said.
Where’s Hops the Frog?
Mark Holmberg had a piece on Channel 6 last night about a memorial statue that has gone missing from Hollywood Cemetery.
Excerpt:
And yet, someone took Hops sometime in the past four or five weeks, pulling up the long spikes that held him in place.
Brown wonders if it wasn’t just some alcohol-fueled prank, that Hops is cooling his heels in a dorm room somewhere.
He asks anyone with information to give him a call at (804) 920-6214.
“If somebody has the frog, I wish they would hop back with it,” Brown said. “Let bygones be bygones.”
