Police went to the Arizona Stadium, 540 N. Vine Ave., and found a black Samsonite suitcase on the ground near a large pillar that supports the northeast area of the building.

UAPD called in members of the Tucson Police Department Bomb Squad to investigate.

TPD arrived and evacuated residents of Sierra dorm, 1557 E. Sixth St.

A Sierra resident told police she saw the driver of a white four-door sedan park under the east side of the stadium on April 3. A man "in his 50s" and a woman "in her 40s" got out of the car and placed the suitcase in front of the vehicle. The two people then left, police reports stated.

The Bomb Squad discovered that the suitcase was empty, and police placed the bag into evidence.

A graduate student called police Saturday after she realized a check was missing from her checkbook.

The student told police she was balancing her checkbook for the first time in months when she noticed the check and the carbon copy missing, police reports stated.

She told officers she contacted the bank and obtained a copy of the check. It was reportedly written in the amount of $25 to UA Parking and Transportation Services on Jan. 21. She told police the handwriting on the check was not hers.

The student said her ex-boyfriend, also a graduate student, asked her for $25 in January in order to pay a parking ticket he received. She reportedly would not give him the money.

She told officers she believed her ex-boyfriend took the check, reports stated. She also reportedly filed a restraining order against him Friday, reports stated.

The ex-boyfriend told police his ex-girlfriend let him write the check and signed it herself. He said he repaid her $25 in cash a few weeks later and that she was "turning stories around," and "has a lot of hatred toward" him, reports stated.

The man agreed to submit a sample of his handwriting to police in order to make comparisons.

The student dropped off a copy of the check and the restraining order to police and said her ex-boyfriend went to her apartment that day. She said he left some "torn photographs" on her doorstep and that she reported the restraining order violation to the Tucson Police Department, reports stated.

She told officers she wanted to press charges against her ex-boyfriend.

Police raided a party inside a dorm room Thursday night after a resident assistant called officers to complain of loud music and the possible odor of burning marijuana.

Officers went to Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall, 1420 E. Fifth St., at 9:27 p.m. The dorm room's door was reportedly open and the officer saw six people inside.

The students were allegedly dancing with wine coolers in their hands and had a small pile of marijuana on a desk, reports stated.

A female dorm resident told police the suspected marijuana belonged to her, reports stated.

Officers supervised as the students poured out the alcohol. They then confiscated the suspected marijuana, reports stated.

The Apache-Santa Cruz resident was referred to the Dean of Students Diversion Program.

Police decided not to arrest a student on suspicion of theft of services after she admitted to using someone else's perking permit Friday afternoon.

Parking and Transportation Services found a Zone One permit inside a white 1996 Volkswagen that was not registered to the car, police reports stated.

An employee noticed part of the permit's number was blacked out to make an eight look like a three, reports stated.

The student told officers she borrowed the permit from a friend, who reported it missing to Parking and Transportation officials.

After the permit was located, the friend asked the student to refrain from using the parking pass because it was reported lost.

The student said she arrived home late recently and felt safer parking near her dorm room in Graham-Greenlee, 610 N. Highland Ave.

She also admitted to blacking out the number on the permit, reports stated.

The officer referred her to the Dean of Students Diversion Program.
