Public nudity
UA employees saw from their office a nude man exercising Sept. 12, reports stated.
The women were inside the Main Gate building, 888 N. Euclid Ave., when they saw the naked man on the balcony of his Marriot University Park Hotel room at 11:30 a.m., reports stated.
By the time the police arrived at the hotel the man had gone inside. Officers spoke to the manager before going into the room they suspected the man had rented. When officers went inside they realized that nobody was renting that room.
When police went to the correct room, nobody answered the door.
Harassing phone calls
A woman called a university employee Tuesday and said her father was a "puto," reports stated.
The employee received two harassing phone calls in her office Tuesday. The caller told the employee to "quit hassling me," and made remarks about the employee's father, reports stated.
The employee dialed *57 and traced the phone number. Police also ran a trace through the Center for Computing and Information Technology and learned that the woman had called the employee 26 times over an unknown period of time, reports stated.
Officers called the woman and said they would arrest her for harassment if she continued to call the employee.
Police told the employee to contact the University of Arizona Police Department if she received further calls, and that she should go to the police department and get an injunction against the woman for harassment.
Disorderly conduct
A Tucson man was arrested Tuesday night after he refused to leave a campus-area gas station and cursed at an employee, reports stated.
The manager at the Texaco Star Mart, 501 N. Park Ave., told police that the man was a transient and that he was inside the store asking customers for money when Texaco employees told him to leave.
According to the Texaco manager the 53-year-old man said, "Fuck you," and started talking about Pearl Harbor, reports stated.
The man asked to be left alone before briefly leaving the store, the employee told police.
The man soon returned and began yelling at the employee. The man left again, walking east.
Officers caught up with the man a few blocks away near the Park Student Union.
"I know why you guys are here, because I gave that guy a piece of my mind," the man told police.
The man said he had been at the Texaco. He also said that he tried to intimidate the employee.
When police asked the man why he yelled at the employee, he said "No reason. Just had a bad day," reports stated.
Officers believe the man may have mental problems. After the employee asked that charges be brought against him, the man was cited and released for suspicion of disorderly conduct and loitering, reports stated.
Attempted theft
A group of males tried to steal a UA employee's purse Tuesday morning while she was walking near campus, reports stated.
The woman was reading while walking near North Vine Avenue and East Drachman Street, when four males riding in a car drove up to her.
A male in the back passenger seat grabbed onto the woman's purse, which she was shouldering.
The strap broke off but she held onto the purse. The black four-door car sped off going south on North Mountain Avenue.
The woman told police that she could not identify the suspects.
She also said she was OK but that her shoulder was a little sore.
Theft
A student had his "Dukes of Hazard" duffel bag stolen Sunday from a campus building, reports stated.
The man said that he left the bag outside the racquetball courts at the Student Recreation Center, 1400 E. Sixth St.
The bag contained his CatCard.
There are no suspects and no witnesses at this time.
