Gas Leak Sparks Manhunt for He-Who-Smelt-It

By

Metropolitan police reported last night that a foul and sinister odor filled the air around Georgetown University around 8:06 PM. A witness alerted police to the stench that evening, citing fear and concern for the student population’s safety. The Heckler reached out to the witness for comment, who requested to remain anonymous.

“I thought that reporting the gas to the police would be a good thing. I thought I was being a Good Samaritan. I just wanted to make my fellow Hoyas safe.”

The witness has been on the lam for fourteen hours after the Metro police posted a $2000 reward for his capturing.

“That witness is our prime suspect,” Chief Proctor told The Heckler, “He did, in fact, smelt it.”

Groups of willing students have been scouring the neighborhood for the suspect, pitchforks supplied by Outdoor Education. Outdoor Ed is one of many on-campus clubs that has turned all efforts to capturing the stinky culprit.

The President of Green Club told the Heckler, “How are we supposed to fight for what we believe in when there’s someone out there who has such flagrant and fragrant disregard for everything we hold sacred about our environment?”

The hunt continues. Any information on the suspect should be reported directly to Metropolitan Police. Please call Metropolitan Police and tell them that you know who smelt it. Please do that for me.
