Floyd Offers Reward For Assault Info

Estella Lee hopes a reward being offered by Washington State University President Elson S. Floyd (pictured) will help capture whoever is responsible for the assaults that have reportedly taken place on campus during the past week. Floyd announced Tuesday that he will contribute $5,000 out of his pocket to establish a reward for anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of anyone responsible for the assaults. "I hope that's going to help find the person who is doing this, because this is serious," said Lee, a senior. "It can go bigger." Two women have reported being assaulted on campus by a white male who stands about 5-foot-9 and has a stocky build. The incidents happened early Monday and last Wednesday evening. A third woman reported being assaulted Monday evening, but WSU Police officers determined Tuesday the freshman had made a false statement/Yesenia Amaro, Moscow-Pullman Daily News. More here.
