CALHOUN HALL, 204 West 21st Street Failure to Identify / Criminal Trespass: A non-UT subject was reported as sleeping in an area of the building that was closed for renovations. When the subject was awakened by police officers, he initially provided a fictitious name.

JETSER ACADEMIC CENTER, 201 East 21st Street Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject was found sleeping on two chairs that were pushed together in a 3rd floor stairwell.

The subject was issued a written criminal trespass warning. Occurred on 07/23/14 at 3:58 AM. Crime Prevention Tip: Police officers frequently come across property like the laptop computer and tablet in this case. Such property can be checked in a crime database by the serial number to determine if it is stolen. Sadly, most people do not know the serial numbers of their electronic devices before the property is lost or stolen. Help the police department identify your property if it is lost or stolen by logging the make, model, color and serial number of your property. To help you do this, the UT Police Department offers a property registration program where you can log any property that has a serial number (MP3 Player, Cell Phone, Camera, Computer, Television, Gaming System etc.).
