Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Friday, 10/23/15 and Monday, 10/26/15. ART BUILDING, 2301 San Jacinto Theft: A white electric golf cart, with an attached 6' ladder and containing several hand tools was stolen while it was parked by the building. Loss value: $2,000.00. Occurred on 10/24/15 between 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM. AT&T EXECUTIVE EDUCATION & CONFERENCE CENTER, 1900 University Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject was reported as sleeping in the lobby of the building. Upon arrival, the officers found the now awake subject watching the lobby's television. The subject had no official business inside the conference center and was issued a written criminal trespass warning. Occurred on 10/23/15 at 4:21 PM. CAROTHERS RESIDENCE HALL, 2501 Whitis Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor: A UT student, who was under the age of 21, was reported as talking to herself while seated in the lobby of the residence hall. The uncooperative student refused to answer several questions, but did admit to having consumed three drinks containing tequila at a friend's house. The student stated she was fine and demanded to go to her room. When the student stood up, it became obvious the tequila was rented not purchased. The officers stated they would escort her to her room where she would be turned over to her roommate who agreed to take care, custody and control of her. The student literally “stomped all the way to her room.” Once in the hallway by her room, the officers were fully prepared to release the student to her roommate when the student demanded to know why she was being interrogated and refused to enter her room. Just prior to being deemed a danger to herself, the student's roommate was able to get the student to enter their room. Knowing when to say “when” was obviously an issue for this student in more ways than one. Occurred on 10/25/15 at 4:59 AM. JESTER ACADEMIC CENTER, 201 East 21st Street Theft: A blue Trek bicycle was stolen from the bicycle rack located on the west side of the building.

MOORE-HILL HALL, 214 East 21st Street Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor: A non-UT subject, who was under the age of 21, had come to Austin to visit some of her friends who went to UT. During the visit, they had attended an off-campus party where she partook in the consumption of several alcoholic beverages. The non-UT subject needed the assistance of her friends to get back to the friend's dormitory room.

NORTH END ZONE, 405 East 23rd Street Theft: A non-UT subject stood at the front of the line at a concession stand before reaching over the counter, snatching four cans of beer and taking flight.

PARKING LOT 40, 2500 Red River Driving While License Invalid / Possession of Marijuana / Assist Outside Agency: UT Police officers responded to the parking lot to investigate a report of a fight in progress.

An officer observed that vehicle driving at night without its headlamps activated. The officer stopped that vehicle to find the front seat passenger was unconscious. The non-UT driver stated the passenger had been hit in the head during the altercation. Austin-Travis County EMS arrived in time for the unconscious subject to regain consciousness and pick up the fight he had passed out during.
