Purdue senior arrested after suspicious box found

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- A Purdue University student has been arrested after a suspicious package led officials to evacuate a visitor information center on the West Lafayette campus.

Twenty-one-year-old Roy C. Sun of Andover, Mass., was being held Friday on suspicion of crimninal mischief and possession of stolen property. He's in the Tippecanoe County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond.

Authorities evacuated about 10 people from the Purdue University Visitor Information Center on Thursday morning after workers reported finding a suspicious box. Police found a wheel lock, a parking ticket and $20 inside.

Purdue Parking Services had written the ticket and placed the wheel lock on Sun's car the day because it displayed a parking permit that did not belong to him.
