Relay for Life vandal confesses

The person responsible for damage to a men's rest room in Bender Arena during last month's Relay for Life fundraiser has turned himself in to Public Safety, event organizer Julie Rinehart said in a letter to The Eagle.

"[The responsible party] offered the Relay committee his sincere apologies," Rinehart said in the letter. "His case is currently being processed by [Judicial Affairs and Mediation Services]."

The fundraiser raised over $27,000. Relay for Life will not have to cover any of the damage with their funds, Rinehart said.

During the March 20 and 21 event, the person tore down three stall dividers in the rest room, The Eagle previously reported.

"The Relay planning committee, Colleges Against Cancer and the American Cancer Society would like to thank the campus community for their support in this matter," Rinehart said in the letter.
