COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS, 305 East 23rd Street Criminal Mischief: An unknown subject or subjects tested gravity on a patio table and chair that had been placed on a terrace located one story above the loading dock driveway. While all items fall at 9.8 meters per second squared in a vacuum, the distance traveled by the two objects was a variable as the table landed directly below the terrace as the chair made it to a nearby creek.

BRAZOS PARKING GARAGE, 200 East Martin Luther King Blvd Unlawful Use of Restricted Lights: A UT student reported seeing a vehicle in the wrong lane of traffic. As she was driving toward the vehicle, red and blue emergency lights began to strobe inside the vehicle. The student “immediately recognized the vehicle was not a police vehicle” as she, or anyone else for that matter, had ever seen a Toyota Scion cop car. The student recognizing this as odd contacted the police department. The vehicle was located and the driver, a UT student, was identified. The student claimed he procured the lights from his church over the summer as he used them to help with traffic control. The students blamed an unnamed friend, who had been in the vehicle, for activating the lights. The “friend” had exited the vehicle and left the area prior to officers stopping the vehicle.
