Alright,

So there's a missing student, hasn't been seen for over 24 hours...reason for alarm right?  Well, 4 hours later I get this:

N***** H******, the subject of an earlier missing person Archnews message, has been located and her well-being has been confirmed. 

At the time contact was made with her, H****** was taken into custody on a number of active warrants stemming from an unrelated incident and is being transported to the Clarke County Jail.

The University of Georgia Police Department wishes to thank the community for the assistance it provided and the many calls pertaining to the situation.  The incident remains under investigation.

Wow! Really UGA??!?!? Really!?!? I have no issue at all with you sending an email about a missing student.  And I'm glad that she was "found."  But was it REALLY necessary for you all to put her on blast like that?  I mean, you basically told the entire school that this young woman is a criminal and is now going to jail...I wonder if she has a case against the school.  

Either way #UGAFail.  I hope I never go missing, might pull out some old skeletons from my closet.
