Editions of campus paper reporting player’s arrest disappear

Anthony Davis, who led the Governors with 15.5 points, was charged March 22 after a resident assistant found what he thought was marijuana and called campus police.

Davis called the editor of the campus paper, The All State, three times on Tuesday to clear up details about the incident. The newspaper ran a story of his arrest in Wednesday’s editions, and half the 3,000 copies disappeared Wednesday afternoon.

Campus police are investigating and scanning surveillance tapes because the free newspaper had to print more copies to avoid losing ad revenue.

“At this point it becomes a felony,” said Kristy Galbraith, the paper’s faculty advisor. “It’s not our paper’s intention to penalize someone. It’s just a violation of civil rights and anyone’s right to distribute information.”
