On April 25th, a female student reported being followed by an unknown male while working on both the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Edinburg library. The female reported that the male’s actions made her feel uneasy and decided to report the incident. Officers located a male subject fitting the description inside the lobby area of the library. The male subject was an UTRGV student. He claimed to be walking around the library because he had been sitting all day and was not following anyone around. He apologized for any misunderstanding.
