Harassing phone calls

Two students reported receiving similar sexually harassing phone calls Monday from a man who called himself "Mark," reports stated

At about 10 p.m., police spoke with one female student who said she had received a harassing phone call in her dorm room at Coconino Residence Hall, 1003 N. Olive Rd. She said an unknown man calling himself "Mark" asked if she was busy and could help him with something. The student said no and hung up because she had recently received a call from a man named "Mark" that had turned sexual in nature. She dialed *57 but was unable to trace the call. The student did not notice if the man had any accent or speech impediment, but said he he sounded as if he were in his late teens or early 20s, reports stated.

At about 10:25 p.m., police spoke with another female student in the dorm. This student reported an unknown man named "Mark," called her and began whispering. The student asked him how old he was in an attempt to learn more about his identity. He told her he was 24-years old. She asked him if he knew anyone in her room and he said he did not. She then asked why he was calling and the man replied, "I want you to talk to me so I can finish masturbating," reports stated.

The student then hung up the phone and contacted police.

Police advised the student that similar calls have been made to students, and that they seemed to be made sequentially and at random. Police also told her she could use *57 to trace a call on campus, reports stated.

A student reported she told an unknown caller on Monday to stop calling her, after he told her he likes to be tickled, reports stated.

At about 9:20 a.m., police spoke with the student who said about five minutes earlier an unknown person called her at her dorm room at Pima Residence Hall, 1340 E. First St. The person said, "Do you remember me? I like to be tickled," reports stated.

The man then started breathing heavily into the phone.

The student said she had received several calls like this one in fall 2001.

She told police she was unable to trace the call and said she told the caller to stop calling, reports stated.
