Read the next entry for the “rest of the story.†STUDENT SERVICES BUILDING, 100 West Dean Keeton Criminal Trespass: Fifty-two minutes after receiving a written criminal trespass warning from the SARAH M. & CHARLES E. SEAY PSYCHOLOGY BUILDING, the same non-UT subject was reported as wandering around the 2nd floor of the Student Services Building and entering unoccupied offices. The subject was again located and was taken into custody for criminal trespass. The subject was found to be in possession of several items that clearly did not belong to him. At the time of the arrest, the owners of the property could not be identified or contacted. Occurred on 11/20/15 at 9:44 AM. Crime Prevention Tip: In this case, the subject was in possession of property that was not likely his. Unfortunately, because the owner(s) of said property could not be identified, the police had few options. The officers could confiscate the property that they could confirm did not belong to the subject. Because the owner(s) of some of the property could not be determined, the officers had no choice but to let the subject keep that property. Cases like this happen all the time. There are a few considerations I have for you. First, engrave your state issued driver's license or identification card number on your property. If you have a Texas driver's license or ID card, simply engrave your property with “TX†and the eight digit number (TX 01234567). You can borrow an engraver free of charge from the UT Police Department to engrave your property. If the property in this case had been engraved, the officer could have run a driver's license check on the number and return the property back to the owner. Another consideration is registering your property on the UT Police Web Page. That web page is https://login.utexas.edu/login/cdcservlet?goto=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.utexas.edu%2Fpolice%2Fproperty%2F&RequestID=2115554267&MajorVersion=1&MinorVersion=0&ProviderID=https%3A%2F%2Futweb-wb-z1-p01.its.utexas.edu%3A443%2Famagent%3FRealm%3D%2Fadmin%2Futweb-realm&IssueInstant=2015-11-23T06%3A56%3A41Z The registration captures the make, model, color and serial number of your electronic items. The serial number is a big part of identifying lost and stolen property. 2300 Red River Public Intoxication: A non-UT subject was observed stumbling and staggering to the point of entering the roadway on two occasions. The subject was stopped and found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage to the point he was a physical danger to himself and others. Occurred on 11/23/15 at 3:51 AM. 2600 Wichita Graffiti: A blue paint pen was used to write an illegible word on the side of a “Police Help†callbox. Removal cost; $50.00. Discovered on 11/22/15 at 9:31 AM. 300 East 21st Street Public Intoxication: A UT Police Officer observed Austin-Travis County EMS tending to a UT student, who was under the age of 21.
