A desk employee at Maricopa Hall, 1031 E. North Campus Dr., told officers the man was approaching female residents and asking them for their phone numbers.

He also asked the employee if she could give him a resident's number. The employee refused, but alerted the student of the incident. The student told the employee she did not know the man, reports stated.

Other residents told police the man said they were "really pretty" and asked if he could spend the night in their room sometime, reports stated.

The man told the residents he was a physical trainer and spoke of his religious affiliation.

The resident gave officers the man's description, a 5-foot-5-inch man with a collegiate shirt and scars on his neck and knuckles.
