Animals loose on campus

An animal remover was unsuccessful in capturing two javelinas that were loose on campus Monday, reports stated.

At about 3:40 p.m., someone reported two javelinas were in a fenced construction area near the intersection of North Campbell Avenue and East University Boulevard.

Police went to the area and saw the javelinas and called the Arizona Department of Game and Fish, but the department was unable to respond, reports stated.

An animal remover vendor came to the area and tried to catch the javelinas, but they escaped and were last seen running northbound on North Warren Avenue.

The University of Arizona Police Department has not received any reports of injury to any person or animal from the javelinas.

The animals were not tagged, and it is unknown if they were wild or from some sort of captivity, reports stated.

Disorderly conduct

A drunken man was arrested while at the UA football game Saturday, after repeatedly resisting officers' commands, reports stated.

While working at the football game, the officer was notified of a fight in a nearby section of the stadium.

The officer looked up and saw two men pushing and yelling at each other. The officer went to the area to intervene and attempted to remove one of the men from the stands. The man refused the officer's verbal commands, diverting his attention back to the altercation after looking at the officer.

The officer then physically took hold of the man's right arm and escorted him from the stands. The entire time, the man was pulling away and struggling to resist the officer's attempts to subdue him.

After reaching the concourse, the officer let go of the man and asked him for his identification. The man began to argue with the officer, and the officer noticed "obvious physical signs" of intoxication.

At one point, the man refused to listen to the officer's requests or explanation.

The officer decided the only solution was to arrest the man. The officer told the man clearly, "You are under arrest for disorderly conduct. Turn around and put your hands behind your back," reports stated.

The man refused the verbal requests, and the officer grabbed the man's wrist and turned him away.

The man actively resisted the officer's attempts to arrest him. He began flailing his free arm and pushing off the police officer in an effort to pull away. Several other officers then arrived to assist in the arrest.

After being taken to the University of Arizona Police Department to fill out paper work, the man calmed down and told police he was behaving inappropriately and that his behavior was unacceptable.

The man was charged for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, he was taken and booked into Pima County Jail, reports stated.

Disorderly conduct

A man was arrested while at the UA football game Saturday after he had trouble standing, and resisted police attempts to remove him from the stadium, reports stated.

While assigned to the south end zone at the football game, an officer was approached by a woman who reported there was an extremely intoxicated man in the stands.

Police contacted the man, and noticed a strong odor of intoxicants on his breath while speaking to him.

The officer also noticed the man was having a hard time standing. While the officer spoke to him, the man became very loud and agitated. The officer told the man he needed to leave the stadium. The man was asked several times to leave but refused to comply with the officer's request.

Two Pima County Sheriff's Office deputies then arrived and assisted the officer in physically escorting the man from the stadium, despite his attempts to resist.

Police placed the man under arrest for criminal trespassing, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. He was taken to Pima County Jail for booking, reports stated.
