Damages estimated at $1,900 were reported by Alpha Gamma Rho on Dec. 1 at 1:15 p.m. Overnight, the heat in the residence decreased to 60 degrees. When residents went to investigate why the furnace had shut off, they found the drain hose of the sump pump outside the building had been taken off the ground and placed into the oil tank, causing water to be pumped into the oil. Public Safety is asking assistance from anyone who has information about this vandalism.
