A woman was approaching young women “fairly aggressively” outside the Heskett Center tennis courts, the police said in a social media post. She then asked the women she approached about joining a Bible study class.

There was also a report of a woman approaching students and asking them to join a Bible study on August 20 at Shocker Hall, posted in the police department’s crime log.
