Chancellor, (date of birth 4-2-93) for filing a false report of a robbery. At approximately 8:35 p.m., MUPD received a report of a robbery from Chancellor, who claimed that she had been robbed as she attempted a food delivery near Wolpers Hall on the MU campus.\n\nMUPD immediately sent an emergency notification to the campus community and began a thorough investigation of the report.\n\n\"Using evidence from surveillance cameras, we interviewed Courtney Chancellor, and she confessed that she had reported the crime falsely,\" MUPD Chief Doug Schwandt said.\n\nChancellor was charged with one count of filing a false report (Revised Missouri Statue 575.080). Chancellor is not an MU student.\n\nThis is the official University of Missouri emergency alert website. Whenever an emergency occurs that affects the university community, this website will be updated as quickly as possible with the most current, confirmed information. Please check here for official information. So that phone systems do not become overloaded, please do not call MUPD as they are working hard to confirm facts and maintain the safety of the campus. We are in touch with them as they work through the process and will update this website as quickly as information is received and confirmed.\n\nPlease do not distribute unconfirmed information or rumors or post or pass along rumors on social media outlets. Safety is the university's top priority, and we are working hard to assure that the campus remains safe while information is obtained and confirmed.\n\nStudents, please call your parents to assure them that you are safe. Thank you.",
