Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Wednesday, 05/13/15 and Thursday, 05/14/15. ****Mover Scams**** Friday of last week, I was contacted by a representative of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to send out a warning to our students as they prepare to move off for the Summer and our Graduates as they move away to “Change the World.” The warning involved the use of unlicensed movers to move your valuables. Unlicensed movers have been responsible for a variety of unsavory behaviors including holding your property for payment above the previously agreed upon price and outright property theft. I have attached a few pdf files to highlight the concern and provide you with some assistance if you decide to use a mover.

After escorting the subject outside, the subject stated the “atomic bomb” was in Las Vegas and demanded he and the officer procure their “lighters” and head towards Sin City. The subject then began to scale the tail end of the officer’s patrol car before the officer restrained the subject and determined he had previously smoked K2. The subject was found to be under the influence of the synthetic cannabinoid to the point Austin-Travis County EMS needed to transport the subject to a local hospital. Occurred on 05/13/15 at 10:00 AM. 2400 San Antonio Burglary of Motor Vehicle: A UT student reported her Apple MacBook laptop computer was stolen from her vehicle while the vehicle was parked and unattended.
