The intoxicated student yelled at the suspect but due to his intoxication level was not able to chase the suspect down. Two witnesses observed the theft and chased the suspect and detained him until the police arrived. During the investigation, the suspect insisted he was not guilty even though the victim’s wallet and personal identification were found in his possession. The suspect was taken into custody and was transported to Central Booking. Prior to transporting the suspect to Central Booking, the officers learned the suspect had an outstanding Outside Agency arrest warrant. The officer took the intoxicated student back to ADH and released him to his sober roommate. Occurred on: 11-17-11, at 2:15 AM. Crime Prevention Tip of the Day: I received several emails from parents expressing their concerns about walking, jogging or running on campus or throughout the City of Austin. Many of these concerns have been based upon events reported in the local news. It is never a good idea to walk by yourself, always walk in groups. Stay off of your cellular phones; just like when you are driving this is a distraction. You are not aware of what is going on around you. This includes the use of iPods. Know the route that you are taking, don't take shortcuts through an area. At night stay on well lighted pathways. If the lights are burned out notify the City of Austin at 512-974-5000. If you notice a burned out light while walking around campus call, 512-441-2020. Alcohol can become an issue. An intoxicated person is a very easy target for a criminal. If you are intending to drink know your limits and don't exceed those limits. Plan on taking a sober friend with you. See today’s entry on 6th Street. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 15 Alarm Calls, 2 Suspicious Activity Report, 2 Suspicious Person Reports, and 5 Unsecured Doors between 11/16/11 and 11/17/11.
