Report for 07/09/2014


Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Monday, 07/07/14 and Wednesday, 07/09/14. GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, 100 East 21st Street Theft and Fraud: Credit Card/Debit Card Abuse: A UT staff member reported his wallet stolen. He left his wallet on his desk unattended, on two occasions, throughout the day. He stated he closed the door when he left; however, he did not lock it. The unknown subject or subjects, who took the wallet, tried to use his credit card at a local grocery store. Total loss value: $80.00. Occurred on 07/08/14, between 11:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: A theft takes a mere second to happen. Leaving your property unattended for any amount of time makes it susceptible to theft. Keep your property with you. You should also keep the contact numbers to your credit and debit cards with you – program those numbers into your cell phone. The second you discover your bank cards are missing, contact the credit and debit companies to cancel your cards. Like in so many other cases, the thief commits the theft and goes shopping immediately – that doesn’t take long either. UNION BUILDING, 2308 Whitis Avenue Criminal Trespass and Failure to Identify: A Non UT subject was found sleeping and camping inside the building. When officers asked his name, he gave a false name and date of birth. Upon further investigation, he admitted his real name and date of birth. The subject has Criminal Trespass Warnings on file and has been arrested for Criminal Trespass on several occasions. Occurred on 07/08/14, at 9:47 PM. 201 EAST 21st STREET Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor: A 19 year old UT student was found lying supine in the bushes on the north side of Jester Academic. He was unconscious but moving his arm like he was swimming through the bushes. He was covered in mud and sod. After several attempts of waking him and getting him to sit up, he began to have an involuntary reaction to the over consumption of alcoholic beverages. He stated he “drank a bit too much” then clarified he had 12 beers. He also stated he had consumed the alcoholic beverages at a near-by private student house that started with “Kappa”. EMS transported him to a local hospital for heavy intoxication.
