A student was arrested Feb. 11 after receiving a package containing marijuana at the Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall, 1440 E. Fifth St., reports stated.

A postal inspector informed police that a package the student was set to receive from Oregon had a strong odor of marijuana coming from it. A warrant was obtained and the package was searched, reports stated.

In the package was a plastic bag with almost a half-ounce of a green leafy substance that the postmaster identified as marijuana. The bag said "Enjoy Beaver" on the outside, reports stated.

At 8:50 a.m., the postal truck drove a little north of the residence hall where it was to be delivered. The student ran to the truck, signed the delivery slip and gained possession of the package. As he stepped away from the truck, an officer informed him that he was under arrest, reports stated.

The student denied knowing the package contained marijuana and said he had expected to receive an Oregon T-shirt. The officer confronted the student about the use of a fake name and he admitted to paying $2,000 for the marijuana, reports stated.

The student allowed officers to search his room, where they found four unopened cans of beer, a bottle of vodka and a bottle of Bacardi O, a grinder used for breaking up the marijuana and a paintball gun, reports stated.

The student was cited for minor in possession, marijuana possession, and possession of drug paraphernalia.


Graffiti was found at 4:30 a.m. Feb. 24 on the stall of a men's bathroom and the front of a golf cart at the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering building, 1130 N. Mountain Ave., reports stated.

The custodial staff found a target drawn on the stall with the words, "We want you" in black pen, reports stated.

A UA golf cart assigned to facilities management, parked on the walkway, had a small spot of red spray paint on the driver's side and a word written in "graffiti style" on the front in black spray paint, reports stated.

It is unknown whether the two incidents are related or when they occurred, reports stated.

The custodial staff said they would clean off the ink, reports stated.


A student received a harassing e-mail from an unknown sender at her apartment at 2120 N. Silverbell Road, sometime between Nov. 7 and Feb. 20, reports stated.

The e-mail made reference to her being "fat and ugly" and insulted the education degree she is seeking, mocking the low salary earned in the field, reports stated.

The student thought e-mail was sent under an alias from a man that lived in the complex whom she had refused to date, reports stated.

The man had also attempted to run down the student's sister in the parking lot at the complex on another occasion, reports stated.

The e-mails she received contained clues that they were from the same man, who had also sent her e-mails describing his disappointment in her after she had turned the man down, reports stated.

The student said she had sent a reply to the unknown sender arguing about her profession and appearance. The officer told her that because of the reply, she was telling him communication would be tolerated, reports stated.

The student told police she never wanted to see or speak to the man again.

The officer told her finding an identity and location for the e-mail would require a warrant and since no crime was committed, a warrant could not be issued.

The student was told not to communicate via e-mail with the man anymore and to report the incidents to the Tucson Police Department.


A man said his wallet slipped out of his pocket between 12:30 a.m. and 1 a.m. Monday while he was in the emergency room of University Medical Center, 1501 N. Campbell Ave., reports stated.

The man returned to check the area and did not find his wallet, reports stated.

UAPD dispatch contacted UMC security and they said they had not found any wallets recently.

The man cancelled his credit cards and did not find any unauthorized activity. He also notified his father of his missing insurance card, reports stated.


The license plate was stolen off of a man's red Suzuki motorcycle between 1 a.m. and noon on Feb. 24 from the parking lot of Babcock Inn Residence Hall, 1717 E. Speedway Blvd., reports stated.

The owner said he parked the bike on Sunday. He saw it again early Tuesday morning and the license plate was still intact. But when he returned to it at noon, the plate was missing, reports stated.

Police put out an ATL on the stolen plate, reports stated.

Police have no suspects or witnesses.
