Fraternity house injury investigation closed
UNM police have closed their investigation of an on campus injury case concluding that a man who sustained a laceration at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house suffered it when he punched out a pair of the house's windows.
"Looks to us like the person who had the cut on his arm punched out some windows," said UNMPD Lt. Michael Omtvedt. "His blood is on the glass."
The incident occurred shortly after midnight March 8 and was reported to police by Brandon Wells, president of Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Wells declined to comment on the incident citing national fraternity policy not to discuss crime-related incidents with members of the media.
Omtvedt said his department had no indication that alcohol played a role in the incident.
The man who broke the windows, Anthony Miers, 20, was taken to Lovelace Hospital where he was treated and released.
According to a UNMPD supplemental report, the damage was estimated to be about $200.

Sandia Labs to fix flaws in security, management
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- The president of Sandia National Laboratories says his lab is well on its way to fixing serious security and management flaws and rejects comparisons to the scandal-plagued lab in Los Alamos.
Officials have acknowledged the problems, including guards napping on duty, the brief disappearance of some master keys and dozens of computers reported stolen.
A Senate committee chairman's suggestion that problems at the Albuquerque lab were analogous to those at Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is still recovering from a scandal involving allegations of purchase fraud, equipment theft and cover-up, are being disputed.
