FRANK ERWIN SPECIAL EVENTS CENTER, 1701 Red River Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject was reported as “hiding in the bushes on the north side of the building.” When the subject was located he admitted to having fallen asleep in said bushes.

FRANK ERWIN SPECIAL EVENTS CENTER, 1701 Red River Theft: Staff reported seeing a non-UT subject attempting to remove circus product from souvenir displays. The subject was even reported as attempting to remove a camera from a tripod that was set-up for event photographs. Prior to being stopped by police officers, the subject had attempted to obtain a refund for a stuffed animal. His request for a refund was denied as he did not have a sales receipt. When stopped, the subject’s step-daughter provided officers with a stuffed animal, a souvenir cup and an order of cotton candy that the subject had not paid for. Recovery value: $49.00. Reported on 08/24/14 at 7:37 PM. GOLDSMITH HALL, 310 Inner Campus Drive Assist Outside Agency: A non-UT subject was reported as loitering in the courtyard located on the east side of the building for more than an hour and a half. When the subject was located, it was discovered he had an outstanding outside agency arrest warrant for public intoxication. Occurred on 08/22/14 at 6:23 PM. JESTER WEST, 201 East 21st Street Public Intoxication / Possession of Marijuana: A UT Student, who was under the age of 21, was reported as “banging on” dormitory doors while wearing nothing more than what he was born in. The student was found shirtless in an elevator lobby. The student had evidence of having suffered an extreme involuntary physical reaction of the over-consumption of an alcoholic beverage in his beard and down the front of his pants. The student had been knocking on doors in an attempt to locate his room. There was no evidence to suggest the student had ever removed or lowered his britches (pants – for those that don’t speak plain Texan). In addition to being under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, the student was also found to be in possession of .02 ounces of marijuana. Occurred on 08/24/14 at 6:33 AM. JESTER WEST, 201 East 21st Street Theft: $500.00 in twenty dollar bills was stolen from a brown sunglass case that was left on a counter in a 12th floor dormitory room. During the time frame of the theft, the victim, his roommate and three of his roommate’s friends were the only people who had access to the sunglass case. Loss value: $500.00. Occurred between 08/23/14 at 8:00 PM and 08/24/14 at 6:00 AM. Crime Prevention Tip: The victim in this case believed his money was safe as it was hidden. Sadly, hiding your valuables just isn’t good enough. Make sure you keep your valuables inside a locked box, drawer or cabinet when not in use. Also keep in mind that when you share a dormitory room, your property is accessible by you, your roommate and anyone your roommate let’s into your room. MUSIC BUILDING EAST, 2405 Trinity Theft: A black iPhone 5 and a black wallet containing $50.00 in US currency, €100 Euros, three credit cards, and various identification cards were stolen from an unsecured locker located in a ground floor hallway.

PARKING LOT 108, 1500 Red River Public Intoxication: A UT student was seen jumping from a retaining wall that divided two levels of the parking lot before pulling on doors to circus trailers that were parked in the lot.
