BLANTON DORMITORY, 2500 University Public Intoxication: A UT student, who was under the age of 21, was reported as being passed out in the main lobby. The student was awakened and moved from the partially liquid puddle of his own creation. The student thought he had lost the contents of his stomach in the lobby of the Andrews Dormitory. The student was found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage to the point he was deemed to be a danger to himself. Occurred on 04/26/14 at 5:46 AM. GREGORY GYM, 2101 Speedway Suspicious Activity: A UT student reported an unidentified subject entered the weight room and placed a rock climbing bag in the area where she and a friend were working out. The subject then left the area as they continued their work out. The student and her friend moved to another area and were quickly met by the same subject and his rock climbing bag which was again set down near the student and her friend. The student noticed a camera lens protruding from the bag which was pointed in her direction. When the student confronted the subject he became nervous to the point it affected the pitch of his voice so he left the area. The subject was described as a Middle Easter male, “skinny in the arms” and having a “small belly gut” and a small head with a sharp chin. The subject was last seen wearing a navy blue shirt with a circle on the front. The circle was half white and half orange in color. The subject also wore black basketball shorts with baby blue vertical stripes on the sides. Occurred on 04/24/14 around 10:00 PM. JESTER CENTER EAST, 203 East 21st Street Theft: A black GT bicycle was stolen while it was “secured” with a cable lock to the bicycle racks located on the northwest side of the dormitory. The owner of the bicycle had the serial number to the bicycle which aided the investigation in the location of her bicycle at a local pawn shop. Recovery value: $300.00. Occurred between 04/12/14 and 04/24/14. Crime Prevention Tip: Having the serial number to the stolen bicycle was a key factor in the solving of this case and the suspect being identified. Without the serial number, the officers would have not been able to verify the bicycle as the specific one that was stolen. Make sure you have the serial numbers to your bicycle and all your other valuables like your MP3 player, cameras, cellular telephones, televisions, computers…etc, etc, etc. If you do not want to commit all of those numbers to memory, log onto the UT Police Department’s Property Registration webpage and log all of your property’s information including the serial number. That webpage can be found at: https://www.utexas.edu/police/property/ JESTER CENTER EAST, 203 East 21st Street Credit Card Abuse: A 1st floor resident reported her roommate had made several unauthorized internet purchases using the reporting person’s credit card.
