Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Monday, 03/02/15 and Tuesday, 03/03/15. FRANK ERWIN SPECIAL EVENTS CENTER, 1701 Red River Criminal Mischief: An unknown subject threw a piece of ore at the exterior glass doors located on the northeast side of the building. The ore made its way through the glass causing it to shatter. The ore was found on the floor inside the building. There was no evidence that entry was made by anything other than the ore. Repair cost: $450.00. Occurred on 03/03/15 between 2:00 AM and 3:15 AM. GREGORY GYMNASIUM, 2101 Speedway Theft: A brown leather wallet containing $15 in cash, three forms of identification, various gift cards, an Eco to Go coin and a silver ring was stolen from the front pocket of a backpack that was left in an unsecured locker located in a 2nd floor men’s locker room. Loss value: $40.00. Occurred on 03/02/15 between 11:00 AM and 12:30 PM. MAIN BUILDING, 110 Inner Campus Drive Theft: A MacBook Pro laptop computer in a clear protective case and a laptop charging cable were stolen from an unzipped backpack that was left on a 2nd floor library computer workstation. Loss value: $1,000.00. Occurred on 03/01/15 between 7:30 PM and 10:30 PM. PERRY-CASTAÑEDA LIBRARY, 201 East 21st Street Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject was found sleeping on the 6th floor of the library. The groggy subject admitted to having slept inside the library over-night. The subject was issued a written criminal trespass warning and escorted out of the building. Occurred on 03/02/15 at 8:40 AM. PERRY-CASTAÑEDA LIBRARY, 201 East 21st Street Criminal Trespass: A patrolling officer located a subject sleeping on the 3rd floor of the library. The subject was known to the officer as that officer had issued the same subject a written criminal trespass warning for the library a month before. In true, “I told you so” fashion, the subject was subsequently arrested for criminal trespass. Occurred on 03/02/15 at 9:24 AM. PERRY-CASTAÑEDA LIBRARY, 201 East 21st Street Assist Outside Agency: A non-UT subject was found sleeping inside a 3rd floor office with his shoes off and personal effects strewn about. The subject was found to have an outstanding outside agency arrest warrant for “Camping in a Public Place” of all things. Occurred on 03/02/15 at 9:57 AM. PETER T. FLAWN ACADEMIC CENTER, 2304 Whitis Criminal Trespass: A non-UT subject was reported as sleeping on chair after the building had closed to the public. When the subject was awakened she was issued a written criminal trespass warning and directed to leave the building. The subject then began a verbal protest before refusing to leave. After the subject was taken into custody for criminal trespass, it was learned she had an outstanding outside agency arrest warrant for the complete opposite of refusing to leave as she was wanted for evading. Occurred on 03/03/15 at 4:46 AM. STUDENT ACTIVITY CENTER, 2201 Speedway Theft: A UT student reported her Samsung tablet was left on a paper dispensing device located inside a women’s restroom stall. When the student returned to the restroom stall, she discovered her tablet had been stolen. Loss value: $100.00. Occurred on 03/02/15 between 7:20 PM and 7:30 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: I have often told students they should take their valuables with them everywhere they go – including the restroom. After all, you are a very captive audience in there. While I still contest it is sound advice, it only helps prevent theft if you remember to take your property when you finish your business. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 16 Alarm Reports, 2 Fire Alarm Activations, 3 Suspicious Activity Reports, 1 Welfare Concern Report, 10 Traffic Violations, 1 Found Property Report, 2 Unsecured Door Reports and 4 Public Assist Requests between 03/02/15 and 03/03/15.
