An unidentified male took over 100 copies of the Daily Nexus yesterday from the stand in front of the Buchanan Hall coffee cart, throwing some away and bagging the rest.

Devon Blunden, a second-year geography major, saw a young man, who was presumably a student, take all of the Daily Nexus newspapers from their stand at about 11 a.m. Before shoving about 50 papers into his backpack, Blunden said, the man threw away a stack of papers into a nearby recycling bin.

Blunden described the man as a tall Caucasian with short, dirty blonde hair.

“I asked him why he was grabbing a huge stack of newspapers, and he said, ‘I have to deliver them to some people,’” Blunden said. “As he tossed them into the trashcan, I asked if the people were in the garbage. He said, ‘Hey, get off my fucking back.’”
