‘Suspicious’ skateboarder sent to slammer

An aide from the University of Arizona Police Department interrogated a non-UA affiliated man on Jan. 27 at 5:16 a.m.

The aide informed a UAPD officer that the man appeared suspicious.

The responding officer performed a records check on the man and found a warrant for his arrest for issuing a bad check through the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.

The records check also showed that the man had a warrant for failure to appear in court regarding charges of obstruction of justice and marijuana possession in Phoenix.

Since these offenses are not extraditable, the man was booked into Pima County Jail.

The officer searched the man but found no contraband.

The man’s skateboard was taken into UAPD custody.
