Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Thursday, 06/25/15 and Friday, 06/26/15. CAPITOL CENTER, 919 Congress Theft: An Apple MacBook Air laptop computer was stolen from an unsecured 11th floor office. At the time of the theft, it was unknown if the office suite doors were locked or not. Loss value: $1,500.00. Occurred between 06/24/15 at 6:45 PM and 06/25/15 at 8:30 AM. PARKING LOT 108, 1500 Red River Driving While Intoxicated – Open Container (with enhancements): A patrolling officer was flagged down by a Travis County Constable who had just stopped a pick-up truck in the parking lot. The Constable advised the officer he had stopped the truck after witnessing the truck driving very slowly on the shoulder of IH 35. Prior to yielding to the flashing red and blue lights of the Constable's marked patrol unit, the driver of the truck turned into the parking lot and struck a parked and unattended vehicle. After driving a short distance from that collision, the non-UT driver of the truck stopped, rolled down a window and poured a frothy amber liquid onto the pavement. The driver of the truck plainly admitted to having been drinking a beer while driving due to “heavy traffic on the highway.†The driver showed several classic signs of intoxication and was taken into custody for driving while intoxicated. Because of the open container in the vehicle and the driver's six prior convictions for DWI, the case should be enhanced to higher charges. Occurred on 06/25/15 at 1:10 PM. PETER T. FLAWN ACADEMIC CENTER, 2304 Whitis Theft: A white Diamond Back bicycle was stolen while it was secured with a cable lock to the bicycle racks located on the east side of the building. Loss value: $150.00. Occurred on 06/22/15 between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. 400 East Dean Keeton Driving While Intoxicated – Open Container: A non-UT driver was stopped for driving a Mini-Cooper at night without its headlamps turned on. The driver showed signs of intoxication which led to the administration of field sobriety testing. At one point during the test, the driver realized he was in no condition to drive and “assumed the position†with his hands behind his back. Wanting to confirm his suspicions, the officer encouraged the completion of the tests. In the end, the officer agreed with the driver's self-assessment. An open and mostly consumed bottle of Tequila was found on the front driver's side floorboard. Occurred on 06/26/15 at 3:23 AM. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 21 Alarm Reports, 7 Suspicious Activity Reports, 9 Traffic Violations, 4 Unsecured Door Reports, 1 Malfunctioning Light Report, 1 Medical Emergency Assist, 2 Welfare Concern Reports and 6 Public Assist Requests between 06/25/15 and 06/26/15.
