The University has turned over the results of its criminal investigation into the alleged vandalism of the Band Shak to the county District Attorney’s office, The Weekly has learned.

Although the matter is still undergoing a criminal investigation, the University placed the band on suspension pending the outcome of its own investigation because it is believed that several members of the Stanford Band were involved with the incident.

The Band Shak at Serra Street and Arguello Way was vandalized, mid-July, with between $30,000 and $50,000 in damages. The Band recently finished moving from the old shak to a newer one paid for with alumni support.

University Police Department Officer Kenneth Bates informed The Weekly that the criminal investigation has been completed.

Jay Boyarsky, supervising deputy district attorney for the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office in Palo Alto, confirmed that his office received a police report last week from the Stanford Department of Public Safety concerning the Band Shak vandalism. His office will review the case and decide what, if any, charges should be filed against the identified suspects. He would not offer an estimate of how long this process might take.

Associate Director of University Communications Kate Chesley said that The University investigation of possible violations of the Fundamental Standard and other University policies is ongoing. She was unable to estimate how long the investigation will take.
