Two subjects lead UAPD on a pursuit, which involved Tucson police units in the area surrounding the Arizona Health Sciences Center, 1501 N. Campbell Ave., Sunday, reports stated.

A UAPD unit initiated a traffic stop in an alley west of Olson Street after seeing a blue Ford Probe run red lights on East Speedway Boulevard at North Mountain and North Cherry avenues. A female passenger fled the scene with the driver after he stopped the car. Several units followed the man, who went toward the College of Nursing, 1305 N. Martin Ave.

One UAPD officer returned to the abandoned vehicle and found that the woman had gotten back in the car and was attempting to leave, reports stated.

The officer and two TPD officers initiated a "high-risk stop." They drew their guns and ordered the woman to get on the ground, reports stated.

The woman told police she had only known the man that she was riding with for a couple weeks. She said the only reason she ran was because she was afraid when he took off, reports stated.

After a search of the vehicle revealed no contraband, police released the woman, reports stated.

Other units saw the man enter the College of Nursing. They searched the building and found him hiding in a restroom. The man was able to evade police and ran out of the building, heading west on Mabel Street, reports stated.

A UAPD officer caught up with the man, got him on the ground and handcuffed him. He apologized to the officer and said he was a manic who didn't take medication regularly. He said that he did not want to run, but that he did impulsively, reports stated.

The man had a bump on his head, which he said he received after jumping over a wall and landing face first. He asked the officer to touch it but they declined. The man tried to tell all the officers at the scene that the arresting officer had not struck him but was "actually nice."

The man had a number of warrants from other jurisdictions in other states. Police did not serve any of them, but they took the man to UMC for treatment for his asthma, reports stated.

A UA student notified police after he received a threatening letter in his mailbox at Gila Residence Hall, 1009 E N. Campus Drive, Sunday, reports stated.

The note, which was written on a piece of toilet paper, said, "My heart bleeds for you mightily. I pray for the moment you realize that you feel the same for me. I know your girlfriend's phone number and social security number and where she lives to slash her body next Friday," reports stated.

A cut up picture of a clown face was glued on the paper.

Police took the note into evidence.
