Occurred between 09/18/14 at 2:00 PM and 09/19/14 at 10:45 AM. Crime Prevention Tip: The UT Police Department recommends you pick the same page number in every textbook you own – say page 119. On that same page number in every textbook you own, write your state issued driver’s license number i.e. TX 01234567. That way, if your textbooks are stolen you can advise the officer taking the report that your driver’s license number is written on page so and so. With that information, your textbook could be identified in the hands of the thief or at a book buy-back store. Without such an identifier, it would be almost impossible to tell your textbook form another textbook of the same title and author. JESTER CENTER WEST, 201 East 21st Street Public Intoxication: A UT student, who was under the age of 21, was reported as being unresponsive while exhibiting a severe involuntary physical reaction to the over-consumption of an alcoholic beverage. The student’s friend wisely called for assistance and advised responding officers his friend had consumed too much “Jungle Juice” at a local party. The color description of the juice matched that of what the student expelled from his body. The student was found to have consumed so much of the juice from the jungle that Austin-Travis County EMS needed to transport the student to a local hospital for the treatment of alcohol poisoning. Under the Medical Amnesty policy, charges were not filed against the student. Occurred on 09/19/14 at 11:48 PM. JESTER CENTER WEST, 201 East 21st Street Theft: A UT student placed his newly cleaned and wet clothing in a dryer located inside a 10th floor laundry room.

An inventory of his still wet clothes revealed three shirts had been stolen form the dryer. Loss value: $30.00. Occurred on 09/18/14 between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM.

The subject was looking for someone to help her get to her hotel. The subject had a stain on the front of her shorts which proved alcoholic beverages are rented not purchased. The subject was not able to stand without the assistance of the sign pole and demonstrated an ever greater difficulty sitting down as she almost fell over when attempting to do so. When asked how much she had to drink, the subject replied, “All over.” I think that sums this call up nicely.
