EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A man was arrested this week after attempting to steal an electric bicycle at the Branson Library on the New Mexico State University (NMSU) campus, the university’s police announced via their Instagram.

NMSU Police said that on Wednesday, June 18, officers responded to a report of a suspicious man tampering with a bike at the library.
