Police seek ex-con in harassment of Columbia student paper staff
Peter Sterne
Police are searching for a suspect they believe harassed and threatened employees of Columbia University's student newspaper last week, Capital has learned.
Daniel Mingues is one of three to have served time in the fatal mugging and stabbing of Columbia law professor Wolfgang Friedmann in 1972. Mingues was 16 at the time. Two years later, he plead to a robbery charge in exchange for testifying against one of the other young men, and was sentenced to seven years in prison. The Spectator covered the case during the investigation and trial.
An NYPD spokesperson told Capital that Mingues went to the Spectator offices last Tuesday and made verbal threats against Columbia University employees. The spokesman said that the police could charge him with criminal trespass and harassment if they catch him. A detective at the 26th precinct confirmed that they are working with Columbia Public Safety to investigate the incident.
