Jehovah’s Stalkers

An officer was dispatched to KSU Place in response to a suspicious person at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 9. A female student stated that on Sept. 17 she was on her way to work when she was stopped by a couple, around 50 to 60 years in age, claiming to be Jehovah’s Witnesses. The student said she told the couple she was in a hurry, continued onto work and did not have any more contact with them. On Monday, Oct. 8, at around 12 p.m., her roommate woke her up and said her aunt and uncle were at the apartment to visit, but when the student went out into the common area, the same couple who had claimed to be Jehovah’s Witnesses the previous month was standing there. The student stated that she told them to leave and to also not tell people they were relatives of hers when they are not. The couple left generic religious pamphlets with the student, but no church address or name was printed on them. Police advised her to call them if she ever saw the couple around campus again.
