TIMELY NOTIFICATION BULLETIN FOR THE AURARIA CAMPUS
July 2, 2009 9:56 AM
In compliance with the "Timely Notice" provisions of the Federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998, the Auraria Higher Education Center located in Downtown Denver is issuing notice of a violent crime that occurred on the Auraria Campus.

REPORTED OFFENSE:  On Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at approximately 12:30 p.m., a female CCD student reported to police that an unknown subject “reached for her” in an attempt to grab her as she exited a RTD light rail train at the Light Rail Station at 10th and Colfax.  The victim was confronted by the suspect who was sitting at the light rail station at the time. The suspect told the victim to “come with me” and reached to grab her arm. The victim immediately swatted his arm away and ran off. The victim was not physically harmed.
SUSPECT:  The suspect was described as an African-American male, 6’1”, slender build, approximately 20 years old.  He was wearing all black clothing with white stripes on the front of his shirt, and a white “dew rag” on his head.

The suspect is still at large. The Auraria Police Department and the Denver Police Department are at the scene and continuing this investigation.
