Man uses public computers to keep in ‘touch’

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to the Main Library in reference to a male subject viewing pornography on July 15 at 11:50 a.m.

A library employee showed officers how an office window allowed full view of the subject’s computer screen. Officers then saw him open several windows that contained webcam images of partial or full female nudity.

Officers asked him what he was doing, and he told them he was “”chatting with a friend.”” The man was then asked to step outside and discuss the incident. He told UAPD that the images were of a friend. He then told officers that he usually used his laptop but that he recently got a virus from viewing webcam sites and now had to use the public computers in the library to read emails and access webcam sites.

A records check revealed an outstanding warrant issued by the Tucson Police Department on charges of shoplifting. The man was told that viewing pornographic material on public computers is prohibited, and that if he were caught again, he would face arrest and/or exclusion. He was then taken to Pima County jail where he was booked for his warrant.

Skateboarders shake things that aren’t theirs

UAPD officers were dispatched to the vending kiosk behind the Gould-Simpson building on June 13 at 10:48 p.m., in reference to two men shaking a vending machine.

Officers made contact with two men who were questioned and searched. One man told officers that both men had been riding skateboards through the area and decided to use the vending machine. He said his friend put in $1.75, but nothing came out, so both men began to shake the machine.

The other man told officers that they were skateboarding past the machine when they noticed a bag of chips stuck in the machine. He then said the two decided to shake the machine in order to retrieve the chips.

A witness identified both men and told officers that both men made repeated trips from the vending machine to a nearby table. Police found several food items on that table, as well as two strawberry NutriGrain bars and a package of Starburst in one subject’s pocket.

Both men were cited on charges of theft under $1,000 and warned that future visits to campus could result in arrest and/or exclusion. The men were released on scene, and the case was forwarded to the Pima County Attorney’s Office.
