SMU Investigating Possible Degree Thief

|

Every couple weeks, I take a stroll through the SMU crime logs, finding stolen coyote pelts and damaged fountains.

During today’s perusal, I found this number:

120563    8:32 AM.    Fraudulent,Substandard, or Fictitious Degree:  SMU Police Department/3128 Dyer Street.  A non affiliated person has forged a diploma, staged a graduation and changed the name on a  student’s transcript.    Open.

The part I’m most interested in is the “staged a graduation” part. Like, did he have his own ceremony? With a tiny stage built for one? I also assume he wore a fake mustache, because when is that not funny.
