    A man was arrested and booked into Pima County Jail for possession of marijuana and outstanding warrants for failure to appear to a court date and consuming liquor in public Jan. 10 at 10:48 p.m., reports stated.

    A woman reported a man riding a bicycle northbound on North Park Avenue toward East Speedway Boulevard. The man appeared to be intoxicated.

    A UAPD officer who responded saw the man lose balance and fall into a pile of rocks. The man then attempted to push himself along, using the wall for support.

    Police searched the man and found a baggy containing a green, leafy substance in his pants pocket. The man told the officer it was marijuana.

    When asked how the man smoked marijuana, the man replied, “”all ways.””


    A wood-framed photograph of Lute Olson, UA men’s basketball head coach, was reported stolen Feb. 15 from the Wildcat Gallery, 1721 E. Enke Drive, sometime between 11-11:30 p.m., reports stated.

    A UA employee reported entering her office around 11 p.m. When she exited her office, she noticed the photograph missing.

    The employee said it would have required “”some force”” and possibly a special tool to remove the photograph, as it was specially fastened to the wall.

    Police have no suspects or witnesses.
