When the subject was located, he was found in possession of several items which the subject claimed he found abandoned in various libraries around campus. Some of the items the subject claimed to have found were new and in their packaging. None of the items could be proven to have been stolen at the time of the interview. The subject was issued a written criminal trespass warning and directed to leave the campus. Occurred on 09/22/14 at 4:02 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: Some of the items in the subject’s possession were electronics with serial numbers. Sadly, if the items were stolen, the serial numbers were not in the law enforcement crime database that is designed to locate stolen items. To be able to enter such items in the law enforcement crime database, the serial number of the item must be known. Most of us do not commit such numbers to memory. To aid in the investigation of your stolen valuables, register them today on the UT Police Department Property Registration Page. This service is free and easy to do. Simply log onto the property registration page found at: http://www.utexas.edu/police/ Look under Help & Services. CHEMICAL PETROLEUM ENGINEERING, 200 East Dean Keeton Assault: A disturbance was reported inside a 2nd floor classroom. Officers located the subjects involved and learned a private company was presenting an informational session about their company for students. One UT student arrived, gathered a complimentary sandwich that was provided for by the company and sat through approximately 30 minutes of the presentation before leaving the classroom. One of the company representatives met the student in the hallway to debate the ethics of taking a sandwich and not staying for the entire presentation. The student then discarded the sandwich in the trash. The company representative retrieved the sandwich and launched it at the student’s back. The student and another UT student later approached the company representative to file a complaint.
