Police at Grambling State University arrested a local man last week for stalking after a complaint by a female student.
Shabach Amuwah, 20, was arrested on March 20 after investigation of a student’s complaint that she feared for her safety after a man entered her dormitory room twice over the course of several days.
On March 17, the student said an unidentified man had entered her dorm room without permission. She said she feared for her safety due to the suspect’s actions.
During the investigation, GSU Police identified the man as Shabach Amuwah, according to an officer’s report. He was interviewed and said that he had been given a room number to meet a friend there. When asked the name of the friend, he recanted his statement and said he had entered the room because the door was open.
Amuwah said he did not know the female student but had seen her previously. He was told by police that the student was afraid of him and did not want any further contact and not to return.
However, on March 20, Amuwah returned to the victim’s room. She notified police who responded and placed him under arrest for stalking. He was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
