Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Tuesday, 10/28/14 and Wednesday, 10/29/14. GATES DELL COMPLEX, 2317 Speedway Theft: A pair of tortoise shell Costa sunglasses was stolen when they were left on a couch located in the ground floor atrium. Loss value: $100.00. Occurred on 10/28/14 between 9:15 AM and 9:50 AM. JESTER ACADEMIC CENTER, 201 East 21st Street Criminal Trespass: UT Police Officers responded to a welfare concern report of a non-UT subject who was “laughing hysterically” in a 1st floor student lounge. The laughing ceased when officers learned the subject had previously been issued a written criminal trespass warning stemming from prior aggressive behavior. The subject was taken into custody. Occurred on 10/28/14 at 11:05 PM. SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK, 1925 San Jacinto Theft (2 counts): Two employees reported having their wallets stolen from their purses. Both employees use the same cabinet located in a 1st floor cabinet to store their purses during the workday. One employee’s purse contained three credit cards, $60.00 in cash, a gift card and two forms of identification while the other employee’s purse contained a debit card, a gift card, one form of identification and $5.00 in cash. Total loss: $125.00. Occurred on 10/27/14 between 1:30 PM and 3:30 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: I am a big fan of keeping your personal belongings in a cabinet or desk drawer during the work day but only if that cabinet or drawer is secured. In this case, the room was in a tightly controlled access area so the victims felt comfortable leaving their property in an unsecured cabinet. Sadly, thieves can and do access controlled areas. Make sure you lock your valuables in a secured cabinet or drawer if you cannot keep them with you. UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, 1616 Guadalupe Criminal Trespass Warning / Assist Outside Agency: A non-UT subject was located sleeping in a nook behind a retaining wall located on the east side of the building. After an awakening, it was discovered the subject had two outstanding outside agency arrest warrants for credit card abuse cases. In addition to other law enforcement action taken, the subject was also given a written criminal trespass warning citation. The subject’s sleeping accommodations are now provided for by the county sheriff’s office. Occurred on 10/28/14 at 7:30 AM. 1700 Guadalupe Assist Outside Agency: After assisting the arresting officer in the above report, one of the back-up officers observed a non-UT subject being “combative” towards other pedestrians by harassing them and posturing like he wanted to fight. The officer stopped the subject and learned he had three outstanding outside agency arrest warrants for two drug paraphernalia charges and one pedestrian in the roadway charge. The subject is no longer being combative - toward pedestrians anyway. Occurred on 10/28/14 at 7:57 AM. 2530 Guadalupe Credit Card Abuse: A UT student reported that unbeknownst to her the UT identification card issued to her containing Bevo Bucks had been stolen. She learned her identification card was stolen when she received an e-mail alerting her of its use at an off-campus business. After learning of the theft and unauthorized charge, the student deactivated her UT identification card. Occurred on 10/28/14 at approximately 5:50 PM. 1900 San Jacinto Public Intoxication: A non-UT subject was reported as being “passed out next to a bottle of alcohol.” No doubt the bottle was empty upon discovery of the subject. The subject was found “splayed out with his legs in the roadway.” The subject was found to be under the influence of an intoxicating beverage to the point Austin-Travis County EMS needed to transport the subject to a local hospital for the treatment of alcohol poisoning. Occurred on 10/28/14 at 9:49 PM. 2300 San Jacinto Criminal Mischief: A silver pen was used to write words on the table top of a solar charging station located near the road. Removal cost: $20.00.
