BRAZOS GARAGE, 200 EAST MARTIN LUTHER KING BLVD Possession of Alcohol by a Minor: An alert Parking and Transportation employee observed a gold Lexus parked in the Brazos garage with a subject passed out in the driver seat while the vehicle was running. A UT Police Officer arrived on scene and saw a Non-UT male subject sleeping in the driver seat and an unopened 6 pack of Corona beer riding shotgun. A faint odor of burnt marijuana was detected and a smell of alcohol was coming from the subject’s breath. An ID not belonging to the subject was found in his wallet. The subject admitted that the ID was his, “drinking ID and he did not know there was anything wrong with having one.” The UT Police Officer explained to the subject that the only thing wrong with having two ID’s is that it is against the law. The UT Police Officer did not think there was anything wrong with issuing the subject a citation for Possession of Alcohol by a Minor before releasing him from the scene. Occurred on: 10/19/13, at 9:16 AM. JESTER WEST, 201 EAST 21ST STREET Public Intoxication, Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor: A UT Student was found passed out, partially seated and partially laying on his side, on the 13th floor of the Jester West dormitory.

BLANTON MUSEUM OF ART, 1900 SPEEDWAY STREET Criminal Trespass: While on foot patrol at the Blanton Museum of Art a UT Police Officer observed a Non-UT subject lying on a bench. The subject woke confused and explained that she had been sleeping there for the night. The subject stated that she was, “unaware that she was on the UT campus.” The UT Police Officer found it hard to believe that she did not know the boundaries as she was identified as a frequent flyer with three previous Criminal Trespass Warnings. All of the Criminal Trespass Warnings were signed by the subject stating that she understood the boundaries of the UT campus. The subject was arrested for Criminal Trespass and was transported to Central Booking. Occurred on: 10/19/13, at 1:45 AM. 2100 SAN JACINTO BLVD Public Intoxication: After consuming a Four Loko, a Non-UT male subject was seen screaming without a shirt or shoes on, at a bus stop on San Jacinto.

The subject made false claims by identifying himself as various rap artists such as Kanye West and 2 Chainz.
