The University Green Library remains in high alert for a suspicious person with sexual interest in feet.
The police department received a report Saturday, Aug. 29 at 12:15 p.m., which included a photograph of an unknown individual with foot festishism laying under a table at the main campus library.
The reporter said the person appeared to be smelling the feet of a female student sitting at the table; however, the student said she was never aware of the person’s presence, according to FIUPD.
There have been no other reports and no known victims.
“Although some may consider this to be humorous or insignificant, the FIUPD takes these reports seriously and continues to investigate the matter,” said the police department.
The staff at the Green Library have been notified and are regularly in contact with police. FIUPD would like to remind the University community to report any suspicious behavior to the department at 305-348-2626.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago in the Green library but it was an Asian male. It may seem minor but not when it happens to you. Ever since, I was uncomfortable being at the library and had to find desks with the covers to the floor so I would know no one would be down there. I never alerted anyone because I was in shock, yanked my laptop cable out of the wall and left running out of the library.
