While inside the building, the officer heard over the radio that the subjects were seen fleeing from police at the north entrance.
Another UAPD officer was able to make contact with one subject, who provided police with a California driver’s license. The subject was also found to be in possession of an Arizona driver’s license belonging to his older brother.
The subject admitted that he used the license to purchase alcohol on several occasions. He also admitted that he had been drinking that evening and that was the reason that he decided to flee from the police.
Officers administered a preliminary breath test that revealed the presence of alcohol in the subject’s system. The subject was issued citations on charges of minor in possession and possession of a fake ID, was warned against trespassing on university property, and his brother’s license was taken as evidence.
The subject was released on scene.

According to the University Purchasing Card office, seven purchases were attempted, and only four of them were successful.

Minor’s beer toss blunder
A UAPD officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle on June 21 at 12:50 a.m.
The vehicle was stopped, because it matched the description of a vehicle that the Tucson Police Department was actively searching for. According to the TPD report that UAPD referenced, an unidentified person claimed that somebody threw a beer from a moving vehicle at his or her vehicle while it was in motion.
The UAPD officer called the driver who filed the complaint with TPD, but the complainant refused to follow up on the report. The UAPD officer then noticed that the driver that was pulled over had an 18-pack of Natural Light beer behind his driver’s seat.
The officer cited the driver for minor in possession, the beer was disposed of and the driver was released at the scene.
