Someone smashed a UA student's car window last week while her vehicle was parked on campus, reports stated.

She parked her car Feb. 3 on the third level of the Main Gate Garage, 815 East Second St. When she returned Thursday, she noticed a 12-inch hole in her passenger side window. Her car stereo was not stolen and there was no other damage done to the vehicle, reports stated.

The student told police she doesn't know anybody who would vandalize her car.

Police told the student to remove any valuable items from the car until the window could be fixed.

There are no suspects and no witnesses at this time.


Police have not found the person responsible for stealing a UA student's unlocked bike from a campus sorority, reports stated.

The student left her $250 mountain bike Monday unlocked near the racks of her Chi Omega sorority house, 1420 North First Ave. Her bike was gone when she returned the next day.

The bike is registered with the UA Parking and Transportation Department. There are no suspects and no witnesses at this time.


Police took a pair of twin brothers to jail Monday after they got into a fight at a residence hall and officers allegedly found cocaine, a sword, a crossbow and two knives inside their room, reports stated.

Officers spoke with the bloodied brothers after separating them inside their room at Babcock Apartments, 1717 E. Speedway Blvd., reports stated.

One brother, a UA student, told police he and his brother, a Pima Community College student, were living together at the residence hall and were fighting each other. He said the fight started over an argument about the events that had occurred the night before at a party they both attended, reports stated.

The UA student told police several of the items in his room had been broken during the fight with his brother. Police noticed the UA student had a bloodied lip and red welts all over his neck and head. The Pima student had a bloodied nose, reports stated.

While inside the residence-hall room, police noticed a sheathed knife lying on the floor. When police asked if there were any more weapons in the house, the students gave officers a crossbow, another knife and a sword, reports stated.

The weapons were taken to UAPD and placed into evidence.

The Tucson Fire Department arrived at the residence hall and examined the twins.

When officers searched the Pima student they found a straw in his pocket. When police asked the Pima student why there was a white residue on the straw, the Pima student said he uses the straw to inhale his prescription medication. Police sent the straw to the Department of Public Safety to have it tested for drug residue, reports stated.

The Pima student was arrested and taken to Pima County Jail on suspicion of domestic violence and domestic violence with criminal damage, reports stated.

The UA student was arrested and taken to Pima County Jail on suspicion of domestic violence, domestic violence with criminal damage and interfering with an educational institution, report stated.

Police searched the student at Pima County Jail before booking him into jail. They found a small baggie of a white powdery substance. Officers tested the substance and believed it was cocaine, reports stated.


A UA student's car was broken into Thursday while parked at a campus lot, reports stated.

The student parked at 10:40 a.m. at 2603 E. First St. When she returned a few hours later, her window was damaged and her stereo and 40 CDs were missing.

The wires to the car's alarm had been cut and the student's dashboard was scratched.

Police did not fingerprint the car because the student had touched the damaged window.

The student said the stereo was worth approximately $200, but she doesn't know how much the CDs were worth.

There are no suspects and no witnesses at this time.


Somebody keyed a UA student's car Thursday while it was parked at a campus gym, reports stated.

The scratch runs from the front to the rear door. The student told officers the vandalism occurred while he was parked at the Student Recreation Center, 1420 E. Seventh St.

There are no suspects and no witnesses.
