All are welcome to ask questions, voice concerns and get to know the officers who patrol where you live, learn and work! CVS Pharmacy 2222 Guadalupe Assault on a Public Servant (Peace Officer): A UTPD officer observed a woman loitering in front of the store despite the fact that the store prohibits such behavior. The officer quickly learned that the loiterer had active warrants for her arrest. As the officer attempted to take the woman into custody, the suspect grabbed the officer's groin area. The suspect told the officer that she found him attractive and believed he would appreciate the contact. She was mistaken. The suspect was transported to Travis County Central Booking. Occurred on 08/18/17 at 11:09 pm. 1900 Block of Guadalupe Street Operating a Vehicle with Expired Registration/Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility/ Warrant Arrest: A UTPD officer observed a vehicle with expired registration. The officer stopped the vehicle and determined that the driver had no driver's license or insurance. The driver also had multiple arrest warrants for drug possession. The driver was taken into custody and transported to Travis County Central Booking. Occurred on 08/13/17 at 05:04 am. 1700 Block of Red River Street Speeding/Wrong Fictitious, Altered or Obscured License Plate/ Driving while License Invalid/ Possession of Marijuana (less than 2 oz): A UTPD officer observed a speeding truck near the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Red River. Upon realizing that he was about to be stopped by the police, the driver quickly turned into a nearby parking lot, quickly collected property and abandoned the vehicle – leaving the area on foot. The first officer stayed with the vehicle while a second detained the driver nearby. The officers quickly learned that the driver had no license and has a previous conviction for it. They also determined that the truck was displaying license plates for a different vehicle. Since the driver had a prior conviction and the offense level is higher in those instances, he was taken into custody. A search incidental to arrest yielded a small amount of marijuana. He was transported to Travis County Central Booking without incident. Occurred on 08/15/17 at 1:28 pm. Frank Erwin Center 1701 Red River Street Theft: A concert goer left her purse and shoes unattended. When she returned from a trip to the restroom, she found that the property had been taken.

When the officer initiated a traffic stop, the driver almost instantly exited the vehicle and aggressed towards the patrol vehicle. The driver put his hands behind his back and initially refused to comply with the officer's commands. Eventually, the driver complied but remained in an agitated state. The officer determined that the driver did not have a license and had been previously convicted for it. The driver was taken into custody and transported to Travis County Central Booking. A search incidental to arrest yielded drug paraphernalia and an open container of alcohol in the vehicle. Occurred on 08/15/17 at 4:30 pm.
