Basically what happened, is that I made this bulletin board in my dorm hallway on the history of emo music (to be funny, not serious). It was pretty cool, there was a timeline, a picture of Brian Pawola, and a black background. So it was up for a couple days, but then on a fateful Saturday night, this guy who lived down the hallway (who I barely know) stumbled home from the bars (very angry, very drunk). He proceeded to break a bunch of ceiling tiles in our hallway, broke some glass, and then ripped down the emo board, crumpled it into a ball, lit it on fire in front of our room, swung the door open, and ran away. I was actually on the 8th floor at the time, but the newspaper called me and asked me questions about it.
from the Daily Iowan...
IOWA CITY- Student charged with reckless use of fire
A UI freshman was charged Tuesday with reckless use of fire for allegedly igniting a ball of paper in front of a residence hall door, police records show.
Justin Clarence Aanrud, 919 Slater Hall, allegedly admitted to setting fire to a large paper ball in front of an occupied residence-hall room before opening the door on April 24.
UI freshman Bobby Loesch contends that Aanrud set the fire in front of his 947 Slater Hall room. Loesch said the two were not friends, and he does not know why Aanrud might have set the fire.
"I don't think he was trying to hurt anybody, I think he was just in a destructive kind of mood," Loesch said.
Aanrud appeared in 6th District Court in Johnson County Wednesday before being released on his own recognizance. Aanrud applied for counsel and filed a financial statement Thursday, according to court records.
Reckless use of fire is a serious misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum of one year in prison and a $1,500 fine.
"I guess he deserves it if he's found guilty," Loesch said.
Calls to Aanrud's cell phone were not returned Thursday.
