The subject later followed a student into RHO when the entry door opened and he knocked on a room door stating that he was looking for his girlfriend. The subject then exited the building and left the campus area north on University Way.\n\nHe was wearing a tan long-sleeve button-down shirt, dark-colored pants, and a tan hat. He has dark brown hair and a short-length beard and appears to be in his 30s.\n\nIf you have any additional information please contact the University Police at 727-873-4444 or stp-police@usf.edu.\n\nAs always, be careful to not allow persons to follow you into the building unless you know them. Immediately report suspicious persons and incidents to the University Police.",
