NCSU student robbed at knifepoint

Raleigh, N.C. — A Raleigh man was arrested Monday morning after a North Carolina State University student was robbed on campus, police said.

A student called campus police shortly before 10 a.m. to report that he had been robbed at knifepoint near the E.S. King Village, a group of university housing buildings for graduate students and their families. The student said the robber was running toward Method Road and Ligon Street.

Campus police said they saw a suspect running into a wooded area near Hutton and Ligon streets, and they and Raleigh police apprehended him after a brief search.

Michael Anthony Hinton, 18, of 2910 Woods Place, was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon.

Just wait a few more months as our economy goes down the tubes thanks to Obama, then you will start to see more desparate people doing more desparate acts.

You are SPOT ON! Which is why I'm getting my CCC. Another gift from the liberal mind set. We got 4 more years for Obama to destroy America, ACLU is heck bent on removing G-d from everything, no morality, no consequences, no disciplining your children, aha but we do get birth control pills. Lovely.

So yes, the fundamental change is progressing. We will be a 3rd world dictatership by 2014. Congrats. MitziGaynor December 10, 2012 4:07 p.m. Report abuse Would you like some cheese with that whine? You lost the election, get use to it.

Have you looked at the murder rates in some of our cities, say Detroit, Chicago, Durham? Come out from under your rock!

This is why I love doing online courses. I can sit in the comfort and security of my home and complete my education with the protection of a lawfully owned firearm and strong castle doctrine laws. I'd rather that than having to go into the victim disarmament zones known as college campuses.

I'm glad the crimminals are respecting the law of no guns on a school campus. The world is now a better place. lol

Liberals have decided that incarceration does no good-so why do it?? Answer---to stop this dummy!!-baldchip

Huh, when did liberals decide that? The problem is that non-violent people are overcrowding the prisons due to ‘mandatory sentences’ mostly related to possession charges and VIOLENT CRIMINALS are released EARLY because there is not enough beds to house everyone. A half ounce of weed can land you 5 years but assault with intent to kill is maybe 6 months….
