Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus criminal activity reported to or observed by The University of Texas At Austin Police Department Patrol Officers between 09/04/17 and 09/11/17. Parking Lot 107 2500 N-IH 35 Frontage Road Criminal Mischief (State Jail Felony): An EMS crew flagged down a patrolling UTPD unit and reported that they had been dispatched to a stabbing but had not yet been joined by any police officers. No stabbing had been reported to UTPD but officers checked the area out of an abundance of caution. While they were unable to find evidence of a stabbing, officers did locate a vehicle that had sustained heavy damage. As the officers approached the vehicle, the owner began pointing to a man who was leaving the area. The officers quickly detained the man while they conducted an investigation. The officers learned that both parties attended the football game together and were ejected after becoming rowdy in the stands. The suspect then traveled to the victim's car where he kicked and punched the car until all four doors were dented, the windshield was broken and the headlights were destroyed. The suspect also slashed all four tires. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to Travis County Central Booking. Occurred on 09/09/17 at 4:42 pm. 2600 Block of San Antonio Street Possession of Substance in Penalty Group 1 (State Jail Felony): A UTPD officer initiated a traffic stop after he observed a vehicle traveling the wrong way on a one way. The officer observed signs of intoxication and began the standard tests. While performing the standard tests, another officer observed a bag of white powder in the driver's seat. The suspect told officers that the substance was cocaine. The driver was not found to be intoxicated to the level of impairment but was taken into custody for possession of a controlled substance. He was transported to Travis County Central Booking. Occurred on 09/06/17 at 02:25 am. 1800 Block of Nueces Street Possession of Marijuana/Unlawful Carrying of Weapons: After observing a vehicle operating without its headlights on when required, a UTPD officer initiated a traffic stop. Upon speaking with the driver of the vehicle, the officer noticed a loaded handgun magazine in the driver's lap. The officer also detected the odor of marijuana. The driver also tried to conceal a small plastic baggy in her waistband. The officer ordered all of the occupants out of the vehicle. A search of the vehicle yielded a handgun and a jar containing a green leafy substance which later tested positive for marijuana. Because she was engaged in criminal activity while possessing a handgun, she was charged with Unlawful Carrying of Weapons and transported to Travis County Central Booking. Occurred on 09/04/17 at 9:11 pm. Belo Center for New Media 300 W. Dean Keeton Street 78712 Criminal Trespass Warning: UTPD officers were summoned to the area after a report of a male who was said to be harassing women. Officers quickly located the subject and determined that while his comments were crude, did not rise to the level of a criminal offense. Officers issued the man a criminal trespass warning. Occurred on 09/06/17 at 11:45 am. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 718 calls for service (225 of those were alarms), performed 89 traffic stops, made 9 criminal arrests, wrote 3 citations, conducted 43 foot patrols and investigated 12 welfare concerns between 09/04/17 and 09/11/17.
