A university employee called police Tuesday after he found bullet holes in a company truck parked near his office.

According to police reports, the employee said the truck wasn't damaged when he left his office in the UA Meat Lab, 4181 N. Campbell Ave., Friday at 4 p.m. When he went to use the truck Monday at 1 p.m., he saw the bullet holes.

Officers examined the truck and determined the single bullet entered on the right side of the truck's back end and exited through the windshield on the driver's side, reports stated.

Because of the truck's location, the height of the bullet's original entry mark and its trajectory, police decided to go to the second floor of an apartment complex on the north side of Limberlost Road, across the street from the parked truck.

According to reports, police spoke with a man living in the apartment directly across from the parking lot. He told police he and his wife heard a gunshot near their home Sunday night between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.

The man told police he heard one gunshot and didn't see or hear anything else.

Officers photographed the damage, reports stated.


A student called police Monday morning after receiving harassing phone calls.

According to police reports, a man called the Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall resident, 610 N. Highland Ave., twice and paged her five times between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m.

The student told police the man said he knew her from school and asked her how she liked living in the dorm. The student, reports stated, didn't recognize the man's voice.

According reports, the man called her again and left a message on her voice mail. The man's message, according to reports, said, "There are two naked chicks on TV getting ready to fuck each other. I've got my dick in my hand. It feels so good. I wish I was in your pussy. I'd eat you after I came."

During the calls, the student noticed soft music playing in the background and voices that sounded like a TV, reports stated.

Police told her she could try to trace the call, and she told officers she would be willing to press charges if a suspect was found.


Officers arrested a Tucson man Wednesday morning on suspicion of drug paraphernalia possession after they saw him rummaging through a garbage Dumpster.

At 7:10 a.m., police saw Bryce A. Quinn, 18, of the 1700 block of East Speedway Boulevard, pulling trash out from the Dumpster in an alley south of East Sixth Street and North Santa Rita Avenue, police reports stated.

The officer asked Quinn why he was searching through the garbage, and Quinn said he was looking for the baby Jesus.

According to reports, the officer asked Quinn for identification, searched him and found a dark green ceramic pipe. Quinn admitted to the officer he had used the pipe to smoke marijuana.

Police cited Quinn and released him. Quinn agreed, upon the officers request, to put the trash back in the Dumpster, reports stated.


A university employee called police Wednesday afternoon after her computer was stolen from her office.

According to police reports, the employee left her office in the Physics and Atmospheric Sciences building, 1118 E. Fourth St., for lunch at noon. When she returned at 1 p.m., the $2,500 laptop computer was gone.

The employee told police she left the door open and the computer on the floor when she went to lunch, reports stated.


Officers warned two men about trespassing Wednesday afternoon after a resident hall director called police.

According to police reports, two men were seen at 2:02 p.m. loitering around the Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall, 922 E. Fourth St. The Kaibab hall director pointed the two men out to police.

As officers were warning the men about trespassing and loitering laws, a Coronado Hall resident assistant approached them and told police he had warned the men earlier that day for trespassing in the dorm, 822 E. Fifth St.

The RA told police the men had told him they were taking votes for a communications class and selling magazines, reports stated.

Officers warned the men and released them.
