A UA student called university police Tuesday after a man called and left obscene messages on his answering machine, police reports stated.

The man said he returned to his room at La Paz Residence Hall, 602 N. Highland Ave., at about 3:30 a.m. and checked his phone messages.

He told police the messages were sexually suggestive and were from a man who claimed he is a resident assistant at Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall, 1420 E. Fifth St., reports stated.

The student said he contacted the Center for Computing and Information Technology, 1077 N. Highland Ave., and employees are trying to trace one of the calls.

According to reports, the student said the man on the message was trying to fake a woman's voice and was saying "I want to suck you off."

The student said he recognized the voice from messages he received last semester, reports stated.

Police have not yet contacted the Apache-Santa Cruz hall director about the calls or whether the caller is a resident assistant there.

A UA student contacted UAPD Tuesday after witnessing a man stealing bike parts from near a UA building, reports stated.

The man said he was by the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering building, 1130 N. Mountain Ave., at about 2 p.m. when he saw another man moving between bike racks on the east side of the building and his car, which was illegally parked in a handicapped parking spot in a nearby parking lot.

The student said he didn't know what the man was doing at first, so he watched him for a few minutes.

He saw the man taking parts off of bikes on the racks and placing them in the car, reports stated.

The man finally got in his car and left with the bike parts, so the student called UAPD, reports stated.

The student got the man's license plate number, but didn't get a good enough look at him to help police make a composite sketch.
