Grinnell College has learned that there is a statement circulating on social media regarding an alleged crime on October 8, 2022 in the parking lot near the Bear Athletics and Recreation Center.

If anyone is aware of any alleged crimes, we continue to ask that they be reported and that available resources are activated instead of using social media. The purpose of this message is to address misinformation circulating on social media.
