Online harassment

A UA student didn't want to meet a woman who he believed wanted to have a one-night stand with him Tuesday, reports stated.

The student told police he met the person, believed to be a woman, while using Instant Messenger on Oct. 15. After their first conversation, the woman refused to stop contacting the student, the student told police. When the student received a message from her, he told her that he didn't want to speak with her, and then blocked her screen name, reports stated.

Since their first conversation, the woman has changed her screen name several times and refused to stop contacting the student online. Some of her screen names include a mixture of suggestive words and numbers like, "69" and "onenightstand," reports stated.

During their first online conversation, the woman asked the student what he thought about one-night stands, and she said she wanted to have sex badly, the student told police, reports stated.

When the student asked how many people the woman had slept with, the woman said, "too many to count," reports stated.

The student agreed to meet the woman Tuesday, after being talked into it by his friends, reports stated.

The student intended to meet the woman and tell her again that he did not want anything to do with her. He told police he didn't feel threatened, but wanted them present during the meeting.

Police and the student went to the meeting spot, but the woman never showed up, reports stated.

Officers and the student returned to his residence hall, where the student showed police past instant-message conversations that he saved on his computer.

During one message, the woman told the student that she knew where he lived and what he looked like.

The student told police he doesn't believe he knows the woman, but does want to press charges if the woman is caught.

Officers told the student to change his screen name, and document every time the woman tries to contact him.


Bicyclist-motorist altercation

A bicyclist kicked a car Thursday after a UA student called him a "pussy," reports stated.

A UA student was in the passenger seat of a car traveling southbound on North Mountain Avenue near East Grant Road when he and the driver saw the bicyclist.

The man on the bike didn't appreciate the way the driver was operating the car, and said to the occupants of the car, "Oh, you can't drive," the student told police.

"Oh, quit being a pussy," the student replied, reports stated.

The car drove away and pulled up to a bookstore near East University Boulevard and North Park Avenue, approximately two miles away. The student stayed in the parked car while the driver went into the bookstore.

The bicyclist rode by the car, got off his bike and approached the car. He tried to open the car door but the student had locked the door, reports stated.

The bicyclist then began to kick the car, causing dents, before riding away, reports stated.

There are no suspects, reports stated.


Derogatory flyers posted

Racially derogatory flyers were posted around the UA campus Tuesday, reports stated.

A UA student saw a man post flyers, which stated "wetbacks go home," and other racist comments, at the Integrated Learning Center, 1510 E. University Blvd. at 4:56 p.m.

The student told police the man walked toward the Student Union Memorial Center after leaving the ILC.

Police found two more fliers on the Education building and the Administration building, reports stated.

Both fliers talked about the "sin of illegal entry," and how border crossers had "poisoned elected officials," reports stated.

Police photographed the fliers before taking them down. They could not find the person responsible for posting them, reports stated.
