Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Tuesday, 12/01/15 and Wednesday, 12/02/15. That Time Of Year…Again Now that the tryptophan has runs its course we all know what that means, it is time to start compiling the “Best of The Campus Watch” list for 2015. If there was an entry you found particularly informative, helpful, entertaining or just down right funny, let us know. Before the winter break, I will send out the “Best of” list and ask for everyone to vote for their favorite. We will start off the new-year with the top ten for 2015. It would help if you had the specific entry, but I will research any submission based on description, location, date and time etc. JESSE H.

Discovered on 12/01/15 at 7:40 AM. WILL C. HOGG, 120 Inner Campus Drive Criminal Mischief / False Report / Failure to Identify: UT Police Officers were summoned to the building to investigate a report of an unclad UT student who had broken into the building and activated a fire alarm pull station. When officers arrived, they were approached by a UT student. The student was dressed in only blue undergarments and had his arms stretched upwards. The student was very forthcoming. He admitted to entering the building to “debunk the policy” that smoking was not allowed on campus. The student stated he went to the 4th floor and smoked – which he later admitted may have been a little THC. The student had hoped his smoking would cause the fire alarm to activate. When the alarm did not activate, the student wandered around the building smoking until he gave up and activated one of the fire alarm pull stations. The student then exited the building and used his elbow to break the window out of an exterior door. As if the student hadn't drawn enough attention to himself, he then started disrobing in-front of several construction workers who had shown up for work. The investigation revealed the subject had also broken the glass out of a display cabinet and ripped pictures off of a separate display board while inside the building. Repair cost: $550.00. Reported on 12/02/15 at 12:41 AM. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 28 Alarm Reports, 1 Fire Alarm Activation, 2 Traffic Violations, 7 Suspicious Activity Reports, 1 Medical Emergency Assist, 2 Welfare Concern Reports, and 1 Water Leak between 12/01/15 and 12/02/15.
