    The man was escorted off campus.

    An officer monitoring traffic at East Sixth Street and North National Championship Drive saw a pedestrian begin crossing Sixth Street. A vehicle did not yield to the pedestrian and drove through the crosswalk.

    UAPD stopped the vehicle at East Fifth Street and North Campbell Avenue.

    The driver said he did not have a driver’s license because of a past DUI. A records check showed his license was suspended.

    The man was cited, given a court date and released. His vehicle was impounded.


    A woman reported her driver’s license had been lost somewhere between 1448 E. First St. and DV8 Nightclub, 5851 E. Speedway Blvd., at 3:45 p.m. Nov. 13.

    The woman was participating in a date dash and told UAPD she was flying home this week and needed a case number and photo identification to be allowed to board the plane.

    The woman was issued a case number and advised to report back to UAPD if it was not sufficient for the airline.


    A CatCard was stolen from a vending machine in Coronado Residence Hall, 822 E. Fifth St., sometime between 9:30 p.m. Nov. 8 and 4:10 p.m. Nov. 13.

    A woman reported to UAPD that she had used her CatCard in a vending machine on the first floor of the residence hall and the machine did not eject the card. The woman went later to retrieve the card after she was told the machine had been fixed and found that it was not there.

    A parking permit was reported stolen from a vehicle in the Sixth Street Parking Garage, 1201 E. Sixth St., at 6:21 p.m. Nov. 13.

    The permit’s owner told police she parked her vehicle on the north side of the fourth level of the garage at around 10 a.m. Nov. 13. When she returned to her vehicle at 5 p.m., she noticed her driver’s side door was unlocked. The woman was unsure if she had remembered to lock the door when she parked.

    When she tried to exit the garage, she noticed her permit had been stolen.

    The woman told an officer the thief might have gotten into her car through the back window, as the zipper that secured the window was broken, and then opened the driver’s side door to exit the vehicle.

    Police have no suspects or witnesses.
