CAMPUS WATCH: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by the University Police Department patrol officers between Thursday, 06-22-06 and Friday, 06-23-06. ETTER-HARBIN ALUMNI CENTER, 2110 San Jacinto Blvd Terrorist Threat: A UT staff member received a telephone call from an unknown Hispanic male, who wanted him to relay a message to another UT employee. The caller told the staff member to inform the UT employee, "Next time he better stay away from my sister's drugs, or I'll kill him." The staff member receiving the telephone call believed the caller would carry out his treat and contacted the police department. Occurred on: 6-22-06, at 3:14 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: In this case the reporting person told the officer that he was unable to get a telephone number for the suspect since he did not have caller ID or the ability to trap the telephone number. UT-Austin as well as Southwestern Bell offer a calling feature called *57. A person receiving a threatening, harassing, or annoying telephone call, simply hang up on the caller. Once the call has been disconnected, pick up the receiver and dial *57. You will hear one of two messages. Either the calling telephone number has been successfully trapped, or the number could not be trapped. The only difference between The University of Texas and Southwestern Bell is that this service is a free service at UT using a university telephone. Southwestern Bell charges $7.95 per successful trap. 400 BLOCK EAST 23RD STREET Public Intoxication: A UT student was discovered passed out on a bus stop bench in an upright position. During the investigation, officers observed that the subject had experienced an involuntary bodily function due to the over consumption of an alcoholic beverage.

After being awoken, the subject mumbled random numbers and repeatedly told the officer that he was in Texas. The officer determined the subject was intoxicated and a danger to himself.
