Can’t Hear Her Now
A student told the U Police Department someone stole her cell phone in the Union Food Court. She said while having lunch with her friends on Tuesday, she left the cell phone on the table and returned five minutes later to find it was gone.
Her friends denied taking the phone, even after U Police got involved.
Although she believes her friends took it, she does not want the police to investigate them. She said it would be more trouble than it’s worth, according to the report.
The student cancelled the phone.
Paint-Faced Robber Nabbed
Salt Lake City Police arrested Marissa Chase and Skylar Munk on Monday for robbing a Subway sandwich shop a block west of the U. Disguised in red, black and white face paint, Chase held up a Subway employee last week at knifepoint. She ran out the door with money from the register to a getaway car, which Munk drove.
The heldup employee was a friend of Chase, who recognized her under the elaborate face paint and identified her to the police, said Lara Jones, spokeswoman for Salt Lake Police Department.
