Sticks and stones … break windows

A UAPD officer was on patrol near First Street and Warren Avenue at 1:30 a.m. on Sunday when he was flagged down by a man who reported someone had thrown a rock through the window of the Delta Chi fraternity house. The man said he was not sure who did it, but one of the other members may have seen possible suspects. The officer spoke to another member of Delta Chi who said had been sitting on the steps outside when he heard glass break. He then saw three men running westbound on First Street. The man did not see the men throw anything and could not identify the people who ran. The officer searched the area, but did not find any possible suspects.

Dirty dare

UAPD officers were on patrol near Highland Market around 2:45 a.m. on Sunday when they noticed a man who was swaying and staggering on his feet exit the market.

The man had red, watery eyes. He was slurring his speech and his breath smelled like alcohol. He said he had five shots of vodka earlier and some friends had dared him to urinate in public.

Picture-perfect crime

UAPD officers were on patrol near First Street and Highland Avenue when a man ran by holding a framed composite of members of the Alpha Phi sorority above his head. When the man saw the officers, he turned around and ran northbound through the Highland Avenue tunnel. Officers caught up with the man near the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center and detained him. The man identified himself and agreed to answer any questions. His face was flushed and his eyes were red and watery. He was slurring his words.

The man was arrested on charges of minor in possession of alcohol in body and possession of fictitious identification. The officer took the man to Pima County Jail. The composite was returned to Alpha Phi.
