On Feb. 9, an unnamed Elgin Community College student reported that they were being blackmailed by a person they met on the dating app, Grinder.

According to the victim, the person repeatedly asked for pictures via text messages, which the victim could not respond to due to being in class. After a few hours of no responses, the alleged perpetrator threatened to post all of the pair’s pictures and text messages to the victim’s family, outing them in the process. The alleged perpetrator reportedly gave the victim three minutes to decide if they would pay $2000 to keep the documents from being released.

As of the time of the report, nothing had been released.

Reporting Officer, Thomas Clancy, instructed the victim to block the alleged perpetrator on all social media platforms and to contact the administrator of Grinder to report the alleged activity.

An unnamed person was accused of charging a vape device near the Spartan Corner on Feb. 4, according to an Elgin Community College Police Department report.

A student expressed concern about the person’s own safety and the safety of others based on an incident that was redacted in the report.

When investigating footage of the person’s activities, Officer Juan Morales was dispatched to investigate a report of the person smoking outside of the Spartan Center.

ECC’s Administrative Procedure 3.801 only allows smoking in personal vehicles in designated parking lots A, H, and J.

According to the report, Morales told the person that ECC is a smoke free campus and to extinguish their cigarette.

They replied that it was okay back in 2012.

The person was not an ECC student, but said: “I am technically because of the Bill of Rights,” and that they were planning on taking classes, according to the report.

The person claimed to be ECC’s highest donor and made a few incoherent statements before being released.
