Disruptive Behavior - Wilson Circulation

Date: 7/12/07 Time: 1:45 pm Location: Wilson circulation desk
Type of Incident: Other
Height: 5'10 Weight: 210 Hair Color: black Sex: male
Description of clothing: blue football jersey
Problem: Yesterday, as I was about to leave, at teenage boy walked in pretending to be blind (I knew he wasn't because in the past week he has been in and approached the circulation desk, looking for attention). He walked into the counter. I asked if I could help him, but he ignored me. Then I asked again and told him that I knew he was not blind. At that point, he opened his eyes and asked where the circulation bell was because he wanted to ring it. I told him it wasn't out because someone was at the desk. He then walked up to the halpro screen and started to place his hands on it. I asked him to stop touching the screen. He did stop touching the screen, but still remained real close, so I asked him to leave the screen alone. He then went downstairs, calling me a meanie as he left. Circ staff person was also at the desk at this point. I told the Circ Supervisor about the boy and past interactions with him. Last Thursday, he came up to the circulation desk and kept bothering one of the student workers (asking him questions and trying to scare him).
Action Taken:Reported to Supervisor

Comments

I think Kyle and I saw him once, and we told him that he wasn't that sweet, and he should just leave, because he's not cool, we mentioned it to the security, and he left right away

That same kid bothered me at the desk before, he is obsessed with the bell.
