Report for 05/16/2014


Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Thursday, 05/15/14 and Friday, 05/16/14. ASHBELL SMITH HALL, 201 West 7th Street Public Intoxication: A non-UT subject was reported as passed out at a bus stop. The responding officer found the subject rather easily as he was “sprawled out” on the sidewalk. When awakened, the subject repeatedly stated he was sorry and that he was “a good guy.” The subject apparently had a full schedule as he stated he was going “everywhere.” The subject was found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage to the point he was a danger to himself. Occurred on 05/15/14 at 12:30 PM. BERNARD AND AUDRE RAPOPORT BUILDING, 2225 Speedway Breach of Computer Security / Failure to Identify: The UT Security Control Office reported a subject was attempting to “hack” into the UT computer network. The UT Security Control Office was able to stop the hack, pinpoint the location of the hacker and develop a potential suspect as a former UT student. Responding officers arrived at the building to observe a subject matching the description of the former student exiting the building. When stopped, the subject provided a fictitious name and date of birth. The subject’s identity was discovered to be the former student. Occurred on 05/15/14 at 8:47 PM. GREGORY GYMNASIUM, 2101 Speedway Assault / Reckless Damage: Two non-UT subjects began to argue during a basketball game on the 3rd floor basketball courts. Out of frustration, one of the subjects exited the basketball courts by pushing the exit door with significant force to cause it to hit the adjoining wall. The striking of the wall caused a wall mounted fire extinguisher to fall to the ground causing damage to the extinguisher. The fire extinguisher failed to squelch the burning anger in the other subject who followed the first out of the basketball gym and shoved him in the chest. Repair Cost: $50.00. Reported on 05/15/14 at 6:18 PM. WEST PICKLE RESEARCH, 3925 West Braker Criminal Trespass Warning (4 counts) / Assist Outside Agency: A UT Staff member reported seeing several campsites in the wooded areas around the building. Four non-UT subjects were found living in make-shift campsites located in the wooded areas on the south and west sides of the building. One of the four subjects was found to have two outstanding outside agency arrest warrants – one for pedestrian in the roadway and the other for camping in a public place (imagine that). In addition to other law enforcement action taken, all four subjects were issued written criminal trespass warning citations. Occurred on 05/15/14 at 8:49 AM. 1700 Trinity Public Intoxication: A non-UT subject was observed stumbling and using area gates and fences for support as he made his way along the sidewalk. The subject stumbled into a sign pole before abandoning his attempts to walk and sitting down on a retaining wall. The subject did not know where he was or even when he was as his estimation of time was two hours past the time of the stop. The subject did know he had too much to drink as he said he “had a lot to drink.” The subject was found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage to the point he was a danger to himself. A sober friend of the subject was summoned to the scene to take care, custody and control of the subject. Occurred on 05/15/14 at 11:53 PM. 1900 University Public Intoxication: A non-UT subject was observed stumbling before walking into the side of a church. The subject stated he had “6 out of 10 beers.” The subject was found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage to the point he was a danger to himself. A sober friend of the subject was summoned to the scene to take care, custody and control of the subject. Occurred on 05/16/14 at 3:05 AM.
