KSU Police met with a contractor in the afternoon of Aug. 17 in reference to harassing communications. The contractor told Officer Byers she had previously spoken with Officers Foster and Cortolano on Aug. 11 about trouble that she had been having with her sub-contractors. Her sub-contractors were working for her painting various residential areas on the KSU campus. The contractor said she had let go her sub-contractors for their recent sub-standard work and hired new sub-contractors to finish the job for her. The contractor’s recently fired painters became upset with her and demanded their pay immediately. The contractor said that she felt the fired painters were trying to intimidate her. She advised that she had received numerous texts from the painters threatening to close down her business since Aug. 11. The contractor said she had paid the foreman of the painters in question for the work they completed before she advised them to quit working for her.
