COMMUNICATIONS BUILDING A, 2504-A WHITIS AVENUE Criminal Trespass: While patrolling the seventh floor of the Communication Building A, UT Police Officers saw a Non-UT male subject exit a bathroom. To call the subject a “frequent flyer” would be an understatement, as he has encountered UT Police Officers 22 times and has received notice not to be on campus each time.

PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, 510 EAST 23RD STREET Graffiti: A UT Police Officer responded to the 6th level of the Performing Arts Center for a report of words and numbers written in brown marker along the sides of a bench.

ROYAL MEMORIAL STADIUM, 2200 ROBERT DEDMAN DRIVE Public Intoxication: UT Police Officers responded to 11 Public Intoxication calls, located in and around DKR Stadium, during the UT versus Ole Miss Football game.

Wait for it….the subject was carted off to jail! -With a Longhorn shaved into his chest hairs, a male subject displayed a lack of balance while attempting to negotiate some stadium stairs. Things got a little more hairy when he fell down the stairs and UT Police Officers arrived. -Keeping with the motto “come early and stay late”, a male subject was found sleeping on a bench outside of the Stadium as he thought the game was scheduled for the following day. -Having worn himself out during pre-game warm ups, a male subject fell asleep twice while attempting to provide his identification to a UT Police Officer.

Obviously tired of driving and probably a fan of the band “Asleep at the Wheel”, the driver was catching some Z’s with his foot on the brake. Luckily the driver side door was unlocked and an alert UT Police Officer was able to reach inside and turn the vehicle off. With a strong odor of alcohol on his person the driver stated he “normally does not drive in this condition.” The subject was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated and transported to Central Booking. Occurred on: 09/14/13, at 4:15 AM. 2905 MANOR ROAD Driving While Intoxicated: A UT Police Officer observed a motorcycle cross over the solid double yellow line (against the law) and initiated a traffic stop at 2509 Manor Road. The subject had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his person and glassy eyes. The subject consented to field sobriety testing and was found to be intoxicated to a level in which it was unsafe to operate a motor vehicle. The subject was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated and transported to Central Booking. Occurred on: 09/14/13, at 3:12 AM.
