RADFORD, Va. – Prior to his arrest, an 18-year-old Radford University student was found drunk in another student’s dorm room, according to Radford University police. 10 News acquired the police report that breaks down what happened prior to Aris Eduardo Lobo-Perez being arrested and taken to jail, where he later died. They arrived and spoke with the RA on duty who, according to the police report, told them that someone had staggered into the building with bloodshot eyes. When the fifth-floor RA arrived, he identified the individual in question as Lobo-Perez. He was then taken to the magistrate at the New River Valley Regional Jail and transferred into the jail’s custody.

RADFORD, Va. - Before the sun rose Wednesday, people gathered around the lawn outside Muse Hall at Radford University as a box filled with thousands of small American flags was opened. The flags, one for each of the 2,977 people who died during the September 11 attacks, were placed in rows around the edge of the lawn. "I think our chapter as a whole is just really glad that Radford University allowed us to do this," Radford University Young Americans Foundation chapter member Haleigh Williams said. "They need to know why we honor the fallen and why it's important to our country to remember our history," Maxwell said. I think it's a great way to remember those that died as innocent victims that day and it's a good way for us to come together as a community," Maxwell said.
