A 30-year old man has reportedly made a plea-deal with Bloomington Police, after around 300 Indiana University students landed in Las Vegas with no place to stay.
The Associated Press reports that BPD Detectives were asked to handle the case, after hundreds of IU-Bloomington students paid a travel agent around $60,000 total, for a weekend in Vegas.
Police said students who flew to Las Vegas for a pre-paid trip arrived to discover that no arrangements had been made for them. BPD Detective Dana Cole reported his department was contacted by an IU student, after they found no rooms had been booked for them at a hotel in Nevada. The incident took place over Indiana University’s Fall Break.
The suspect reportedly came to a deal with BPD that charges would not be filed as long as all money is repaid to the students.
