The door to the locker room had been left propped open. During the time frame of the theft, an unidentified subject was seen loitering inside the locker room. That subject was described as an “older” black male subject with a bald head and a “big belly.” The subject was last seen wearing a grey or dark colored t-shirt with a logo on the front of the t-shirt. The witness described the subject as possibly being drunk. The subject was reported to two staff members, one of which checked the area prior to contacting the police department. Occurred on 04/19/14 around 5:00 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: I have two tips to offer with this case. First and foremost, you should never prop a door open. If the door is designed to close and lock on its own, then that is how it should be operated. A closed and secured door would have prevented this crime in the first place. My second tip deals with a good response to reports of suspicious activity. Keep your cellular telephone with you at all times. If you work, live, learn or play here on campus, keep the police department’s number (512-471-4441) programmed into your cellular telephone. Call the police department the second you observe or hear of suspicious or criminal activity – we specialize in police responses. 400 West 17th Street Public Intoxication: A non-UT subject was reported as being passed out inside of a parked vehicle.
