My question involves an arrest warrant from the State of: Kentucky
I will try to be concise...daughter, 19, away at school. Twice during the past two weeks she felt she was "followed" by police officer in patrol car. Both times between 1-2am. First time officer sat behind her parked car in dorm parking lot for 20 minutes after following her from fast food restaurant for 2 miles. Never got out of his vehicle in her dorm parking lot. Second time was this past Friday morning. Followed from same fast food restaurant, stopped as she pulled into parking lot, officer drove around lot on street and stopped to watch her get out of car. She was frightened, called home then decided to call campus police to report it.
Campus police came to her dorm and took report. She had received a DUI a year earlier while at school. She told these campus police that one of the officers involved, a trainee, had contacted her via Facebook 2 days following her DUI arrest. That, and these two recent incidents she felt might be related. Her sense was that the two campus police officers did not believe her.
They left. They returned 30-45 minutes later to arrest her on a bench warrant from another county. They would not show her, give her or tell her what the bench warrant was for other than "failure to comply". She was taken to jail. We learned that it was for an unpaid speeding ticket a year earlier that we thought had been taken care of by our attorney. Miscommunication somewhere. We paid the speeding ticket a few hours later and she was released.
This was finals week and she had one last final exam to take.
My question is more about the actions of the campus police in taking the opportunity at 3am on the last day of finals to arrest a student on a bench warrant from another county after they came in contact with the student because she called them to share her concern for her safety due to what she perceived as inappropriate actions of a police officer.
Were they sending a message?
