• On Feb. 7 at approximately 8 a.m., a Campus Police officer was conducting vehicle patrol in Lot 7 when she noticed a vehicle with a suspicious looking decal. Upon further inspection, she found that it was not a sticker decal given out by TCNJ Parking Services, but, instead, it appeared to be a copy of a sticker that was cut out from paper and taped onto the window, police said. Another officer arrived on the scene and confirmed that it was a fraudulent reproduction of an official decal. The vehicle was registered to a student who didn’t have a decal issued to him and had been previously booted for having an outstanding balance after receiving multiple tickets. As per the College’s Parking Policy, the vehicle was booted and issued the appropriate citations for the offense. An orange immobilization notice was placed on the windshield, which notifies the owner that the vehicle is booted and to see Campus Police for boot removal, according to police.
