This post was updated to correct the following:
The Hatchet reported in a previous headline that GW Police Department officers arrested a male subject at the off-campus Tau Kappa Epsilon house. GWPD officers arrested the male after seeing him remove a package from the steps of the house and confirming it as stolen. GWPD did not indicate that the arrest took place at the TKE house. The department also reported the 7-Eleven at Mitchell Hall as a “general location” of the incident. We regret this error.
