• University Police took a computer from a University dorm room as part of their investigation into fake IDs being distributing from someone at the University to students at other colleges, police said.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation's forensic unit is helping University Police perform a complete forensics search of the computer, University Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said.
Police have interviewed several individuals but have not made any arrests yet, Williamson said.
Police could not comment any further on the case Wednesday because the investigation still is ongoing, he said.
