UW’s next senior class president charged in bus ticket grab

The recently elected UW-Madison senior class president has been arrested and charged with misdemeanor theft for stealing bus tickets from the Memorial Union information desk.

Oliver Delgado won election as president of the class of 2008-09 by garnering 430 votes in the spring election, beating Jeff Wright (388 votes) and Tim Fung (101), according to election tabulations by the Associated Students of Madison.

But a couple of weeks before the early April vote, Delgado was caught stealing bus tickets so he and his roommate could get out of Madison for spring break, according to a complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court.
