St. Xavier Student Charged for Graffiti

Katherine Loberg, a Saint Xavier University freshman, was arrested and charged Friday for the graffiti that caused the school to shut down for six days last month. The scrawled message on a bathroom wall contained threats of violence, and after the NIU shooting in February officials weren't going to take any chances. Others, however, thought it was overreacting. Officials are saying Loberg suffered from depression -- perhaps she was bummed by the state of the SXU dining room.

Loberg was released yesterday on a $15,000 bond, and SXU stated that she has been placed on "immediate administrative suspension" and is not allowed on campus. [Trib, SXU]
