Dear Rutgers University,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under the
OPRA and the common law right of access. I am a journalist with New
Brunswick Today and Trenton Makes News, and require the records for my
reporting on New Jersey's local governments, school districts, and
autonomous authorities. I am not required to fill out an official form or
use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA
47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of
the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a
completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New
Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:
Please provide a copy of all complaints/summonses, DWI paperwork, arrest
reports, and any other reports made on the arrest of Michael Schultz on
the evening of August 20, 2024.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail
as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are
not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and
provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil
