Someone has a case of the Mondays

A UAPD officer responded to the Electrical and Computer Engineering building on Monday at 3:41 p.m., in response to a call about a man disturbing the peace.

The victim, a UA employee that works in the building, said a man knocked on her office door and asked to speak to her about the status of an application.

The woman stated she was unable to determine the name of the student he was asking about because of the man’s accent.

She said the man then started screaming, “”You haven’t responded to any of my e-mails; this process is sexist.””

The woman then told the man he was not allowed to speak to her that way and to leave the office. She also stated the man’s wife, who was also in the office, needed to hold him back as he screamed at the woman.

While the man continued to yell, the woman called UAPD because she did not know if the situation was going to become physical.

The woman said she was scared of the man, even though there were many other people who had entered the office to keep the man separated from her.

The officer then spoke with the man, who stated he was only at the office to check on the status of his nephew’s graduate school application, and at no time was he yelling or screaming at the woman.

He also said the woman told him he was “”uncivilized”” and to “”get out of my office,”” and she then called the police. The man claimed he did not know why the police were being called and that it was unnecessary.

The woman said she did not want to be involved in judicial proceedings and just wanted the situation to be documented.

The officer stayed on scene as the wife of the man asked the woman questions about the application status for their nephew.
