Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Monday, 12/15/14 and Tuesday, 12/16/14. CREEKSIDE RESIDENCE HALL, 2501 San Jacinto Theft: An unknown brand or model number bicycle was stolen while it was secured with a cable lock to the bicycle racks located on the west side of the dormitory. The owner claimed the bicycle was valued at $2,000.00. Without knowing the make or model number of the bicycle, the estimated value is impossible to determine. Occurred between 12/14/14 at 11:00 PM and 12/15/14 at 11:00 AM. GOLDSMITH HALL, 310 Inner Campus Theft: A Kanankuk backpack containing $30.00 in cash, an external hard drive, a credit card, a key ring and a driver’s license was stolen after it was left under a desk in an unsecured 4th floor studio. Loss value: $95.00. Occurred on 12/15/14 between 12:30 PM and 3:00 PM. GUADALUPE PARKING GARAGE, 417 West 17th Street Duty Upon Striking an Unattended Vehicle: A UT staff member reported seeing a red passenger vehicle back into a parked and unattended Jeep Wrangler on the 3rd level of the parking garage. The driver of the striking vehicle left the scene without leaving driver information as required by law. Repair cost: $500.00. Reported on 12/16/14 at 12:45 AM. UNIVERSITY of TEXAS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, 1616 Guadalupe Graffiti: A black indelible marker was used to write a word on a stairwell wall between the 4th and 5th level of the building. Removal cost: $40.00. Occurred between 12/12/14 and 12/15/14 at 9:00 AM. 2400 Guadalupe Public Intoxication / Evading Arrest or Detention / Retail Theft: A UT Police Officer observed a pedestrian attempting to help a non-UT subject to his feet. The now upright subject had difficulty maintaining his balance and a single line of travel. When stopped the subject was determined to be intoxicated to the point he was unaware of simple concepts like the day of month. The time traveler became restless as the officers began to initiate arrest procedures and exclaimed “*%#@ this” and tried to run across Guadalupe Street. Based on the earlier description of his coordination you can imagine it was a short chase. Once in custody, the subject was found to be in possession of a new shirt from a near-by retailer. An investigation showed the shirt had not been purchased before it was removed from the store. Recovery value: $25.00. Occurred on 12/15/14 at 11:13 AM. 1600 San Antonio Driving While Intoxicated / Possession of Marijuana: A non-UT subject was observed driving on the wrong side of the road before turning onto another road and driving the wrong way on a one-way roadway. When the subject was stopped he showed signs of intoxication to the point he was believed to have been driving while intoxicated. A small, but useable amount of marijuana was located inside the vehicle. Occurred on 12/16/14 at 2:31 AM. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 30 Alarm Reports, 1 “Police Help” Callbox Activation, 2 Fire Alarm Activations, 4 Suspicious Activity Reports, 4 Traffic Violations, 4 Unsecured Door Reports, 2 Found Property Reports, 1 Welfare Concern Report, 1 Illegally Parked Vehicle (Blocking Roadway) and 3 Public Assist Reports between 12/15/14 and 12/16/14.
