University of Cincinnati attorneys claim that former student Virgil Tuttle, 48, is "stalking" the institution. He's been arrested 22 times in the last five years for trespassing on the campus. Tuttle is apparently a fixture on campus, having been busted asleep in a restroom, napping in a math lounge, drunk in the bushes, attending lectures, and conducting research in the library. According to the university registrar, Tuttle was last enrolled in 2004. According to Tuttle, he's still a student. The case has been continued until June 22 when the judge will likely make his ruling. In court yesterday, Tuttle represented himself. From the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Two of his witnesses didn't show. One who did said she was "pretty sure" he'd once viewed pornography on a UC computer. Another, Director of Judicial Affairs Daniel Cummins, said no, he'd never handled complaints about Tuttle – because "my jurisdiction is only limited to students."
Eventually, Tuttle called himself as a witness and testified about the UC clubs he'd joined and the cops who didn't like him and how he has the right to continue his education. Finally he told the judge: "I'm not that bad a guy. I know it looks bad, but I'm not that bad a guy."
