Police went to the Social Sciences building, 1145 E. South Campus Drive, at 5:28 p.m. and spoke with the student and professor.
The student told police the professor gave him a "D" on his paper, photocopied it and gave the student the original. The student also wanted the copy because he was afraid his professor would "plagiarize" the student's ideas.
The professor said he would not turn over the copy because he was not finished grading the paper and had not issued a final grade, reports stated.
The officer told the student he could not force the professor to return the copy. The student was not satisfied with the officer's response and asked to speak with his supervisor, reports stated.
The officer's supervisor spoke with the student and professor. He told the student he was "skeptical the professor would use it (the paper) since the grade was so low," reports stated.
