PARKING LOT 103, 2100 Comal Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject was found sleeping in the grass next to the parking lot. When awakened, the subject stated he began to walk home the previous night when he realized the walk was just too long so he decided to lay down and sleep. The subject was issued a written criminal trespass warning and allowed to continue his quest home. Occurred on 08/06/15 at 7:35 AM. SAN ANTONIO PARKING GARAGE, 2420 San Antonio Street Criminal Mischief: A UT Police Officer observed the southwest entry arm gate was broken. Estimated cost of repair: $50.00.

UNION BUILDING, 2308 Whitis Criminal Trespass Warning (2 Counts): Two non-UT subjects were found loitering on the northwest side of the building in an area reserved for use by faculty, staff and students. The subjects were both issued a written criminal trespass warning and were directed off campus. Occurred on 08/08/15 at 8:50 AM. UNION BUILDING, 2308 Whitis Criminal Trespass: A non-UT subject was found loitering on the southwest side of the building in an area reserved for use by faculty, staff and students. The subject was found to have previously been issued a written criminal trespass warning and was subsequently taken into custody. Occurred on 08/08/15 at 9:03 AM. UNION BUILDING, 2308 Whitis Possession of Marijuana / Criminal Trespass Warning: An observant officer witnessed a non-UT subject on the west patio of the building. The officer watched as the subject held a beverage can up to his mouth and ignite the bottom end of the can with a cigarette lighter. Upon closer inspection, the officer detected that all too familiar odor of burning marijuana. The subject was then found to be in possession of .01 ounces of marijuana. The subject stated he didn't think anything of smoking marijuana because where he comes from “smoking marijuana medically is okay.” I am fairly certain even medical marijuana doesn't come with directions to smoke THC from converted beverage cans. In addition to other law enforcement action taken, the subject was also issued a written criminal trespass warning. Occurred on 08/09/15 at 1:34 PM. 2200 Guadalupe Public Intoxication: A UT student was observed with his head fully submerged in a trash receptacle. Once the student emerged from that place of refuse he showed an inability to walk without the danger of falling over. The student was stopped and found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage to the point he was a physical danger to himself. Occurred on 08/08/15 at 2:30 AM. 2000 Speedway Public Intoxication: UT Police Officers were summoned by a non-UT subject to assist with an intoxicated subject. Upon arrival, officers learned the reporting person had seen the intoxicated subject downtown and recognized he was in need of assistance. The intoxicated subject stated he lived on campus but could not recall which residence hall he lived in so the sober subject drove the intoxicated subject to the campus. Officers learned the intoxicated subject was not a resident of the campus or a student for that matter. The intoxicated subject could not recall how much he had to drink but did admit he had never been that drunk before. Officers agreed the subject was indeed drunk to the point he was not able to care for himself. Occurred on 08/09/15 at 4:18 AM. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 66 Alarm Reports, 1 Fire Alarm Activation, 11 Suspicious Activity Reports, 16 Traffic Violations, 1 Motor Vehicle Collision, 5 Unsecured Door Reports, 1 Medical Emergency Assist Request, 1 Welfare Concern Report, 3 Found Property Reports and 9 Public Assist Requests between 08/06/15 and 08/10/15.
