They fled when approached by the guard. A fraternity member reported that someone vandalized a utility closet in one of the fraternity houses. The vandalism apparently caused the telephone service to be disrupted. A student reported that the rear window of a car had been broken out between 1 and 3 a.m. in a parking lot west of Mallinckrodt Center. Later, another student reported that at about 11 a.m. Aug. 21 an unidentified male grabbed the student's buttocks while walking in Eads Hall.
Police believe the two incidents are related.
The arrests were made at the Throop Drive overpass. The two juveniles were turned over to St. Louis County juvenile authorities. Three other juveniles escaped on foot. University Police also responded to one report of a lost wallet, three reports of lost or stolen license plates and one report of harassing telephone calls.
