Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Thursday, 05/29/14 and Friday, 05/30/14. ****Make a Difference Opportunity**** The University of Texas at Austin Facilities Services Office runs a great sustainability program each month. The Longhorn Lights Out Program is an initiative to get faculty, staff and students to turn their office lights off, power down their computers and turn the monitors off as they leave for the weekend on the last Friday of every month. The April Longhorn Lights Out initiative resulted in a reduction of approximately 2,364 kilowatts of energy usage – that is enough energy to run an average Texas home for a month…that’s pretty good – makes me think I might power down before my quitting time (just kidding Chief; I’ll be here all day). For more information about this program, visit: http://www.utexas.edu/facilities/sustainability/LightsOut.html UNIVERSITY of TEXAS ADMINISTRATION, 1616 Guadalupe Theft: Officers responded to a bicycle theft in progress call in which a bicycle lock was cut from a bicycle that was secured to a bicycle rack on the southeast side of the building. The officer located a non-UT subject in possession of the bicycle a few blocks away. The subject exclaimed he had purchased the bicycle earlier in the evening and that he did not possess any lock cutting tools. All of this information was offered up before the subject was told the bicycle was stolen – hmmm. After the subject was taken into custody, he admitted he had considered running upon seeing the officers, but decided not to as he felt he was “too fat” to run. Recovery value: $630.00. Reported on 05/30/14 at 6:15 AM. 2000 Speedway Public Intoxication / Possession of Dangerous Drug: A non-UT subject was observed using two other non-UT subjects for support as she “walked” along the road. The other two non-UT subjects did not know the third, but recognized she was in need of assistance so they decided to let her stay in the dormitory room they were staying in during a professional conference – that is, if they were able to find their dormitory. The two lost, but good Samaritans were given directions to their dormitory. The third subject was found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage to the point she was a danger to herself. That subject was also found to be in possession of a prescription drug without a prescription. Occurred on 05/30/14 at 2:20 AM. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 16 Alarm Reports, 2 Fire Alarm Reports, 1 Stuck elevator Call, 5 Suspicious Activity Reports, 1 Unsecured Door Report, 2 Medical Emergency Reports, 1 Collision, 2 Traffic Violations and 1 Public Assist Report between 05/29/14 and 05/30/14.
