A 25-year-old woman was arrested March 13 at the Hornet Bookstore when she allegedly tried to pass a fraudulent check, said Lt. Dan Davis of the University Police Department.

“We’re looking into the whole thing as a package,” Davis said. He said there were “a number of previous incidents” where the suspect, Tiffany M. Adair, allegedly passed fraudulent checks and that campus police are following up on it.

Davis wouldn’t get too specific for fear of compromising the ongoing investigation but did say that “a significant amount of money” is involved.

Neither Davis nor Admissions and Records could confirm whether Adair is currently a Sacramento State student.

‘Hate-crime graffiti’ found in dorms

Hate crime graffiti was found on the outside of a door in Draper Hall on March 10 after closing, said Cynthia Cockrill, director of housing and residential life.

“It was racially biased,” said Lt. Dan Davis of the University Police Department. He said it has been cleaned up and there is an investigation underway.

There are at least two suspects now, but Davis couldn’t say exactly how many. No disciplinary action has been taken yet.

“It’s a cowardly and ignorant act,” Cockrill said. “Any kind of hate-crime graffiti is taken with grave seriousness.”

Housing and Residential Life is conducting its own, independent investigation in cooperation with the campus police investigation.
