MUPD makes arrests in football robbery
University police made arrests in a case that's over a year old.
The MU Police Department arrested three males Tuesday for stealing money at an MU football game against Nebraska on Oct. 6, 2007.
The suspects stole money from parking fees at the game. The money was in four bags and was stolen from a vehicle that contained the funds collected from the parking fees, stated a news release from the department.
The amount stolen has not been released but money was the only item stolen.
The suspects include two juveniles and Michael Davis, 18, all from Fulton.
Arrests could not be made sooner due to a lack of evidence, MUPD Capt. Brian Weimer said.
“There was not enough probable cause to make an arrest sooner”, Weimer said.
MUPD worked with the Callaway County Sheriff's Department to make the arrests, stated the news release.
There isn't a trend of similar crimes happening on campus or at football games, Weimer said.
The suspects are being charged with one count of class C Felony Stealing, stated the news release.. The investigation is ongoing.
