Purdue student pays parking ticket by placing $20 in a locked box, a prank now being called terrorist mischief. 

BoilerStation.com reports

Wesley Allen has never met Roy C. Sun, a Purdue University student suspected of "terroristic mischief" after a closed box was found in a building on the West Lafayette campus.
Nonetheless, Allen organized a rally Monday afternoon to support Sun, 21, and protest what he deemed was an overzealous arrest by the Purdue University Police Department.

Inside the package were $20, a wheel lock and a parking ticket that was issued to Sun a week ago.

"It's crazy that someone trying to pay a parking ticket could be arrested for terrorism," said Allen, 24, a Purdue graduate student. "It's not right."

Sun is one of three people suspected of leaving the package in a hallway Thursday morning at Purdue's Visitor Information Center -- prompting an evacuation of the building off Northwestern Avenue.
