A University student was arrested for allegedly shoplifting books and resisting arrest at the U-Store on Thursday, according to a Princeton Borough Police Department press release.
David Johnson '03 was arrested at 2:16 p.m. and released with a summons, the report said. The books valued $257.40.
After being approached by Sgt. Ralph Terracciano, Johnson resisted arrest, according to the report.
Terracciano was in the store at the time investigating a break-in, in which nearly $1,000 in Palm Pilots computers were stolen, Johnson said.
The books he is accused of shoplifting were all hardcover including a 30-pound dictionary, he said.
