Fraternity impersonation leads to attempted robbery
A man reported an attempted robbery March 5 at 6:15 p.m. in Parking Lot 14, University Police Capt. Fernando Solorzano said.
The victim reported that a man wearing a purple shirt with green and purple camouflage pants and gold combat boots approached him as he was getting into his car and tried to steal his camera.
The suspect is believed to be a member of the Omega fraternity whose dress code involves wearing green and purple as well as gold combat boots, Solorzano said.

Nothing was stolen.
