A woman was kicked in the kidney by a child at an event at the Arizona State Museum, 1013 E. University Blvd., on June 19 at 6:15 p.m.

The woman called UAPD, who had no security working the event. On the phone the woman became very agitated and started making threats that the dispatcher would lose his job, reports stated.

Dispatch asked the woman if she needed medical assistance and replied that she was unsure, but didn't want them to send an ambulance. She said she intended to go to Urgent Care, reports stated.

Officers attempted to reach the woman by phone several times, but were met with a busy signal.


A woman was peeked at while alone in the middle stall of a bathroom of the Gould Simpson building, 104 E. Fourth St., around 12:30 p.m. on June 16.

According to reports, a man entered the room, kneeled down on all fours in front of her stall and looked under the door. The woman said, "Excuse me," and the man left.

All the woman was able to see was the man's brown hair and leather sandals. She was not sure if the man had seen her in the stall when he looked under the door.

A woman came into the bathroom a minute after the man left and stated that she hadn't seen anyone around the bathroom.

A coworker of the woman said he had seen a man matching the description in front of the women's bathroom earlier in the day.

There is an exit to the building next to the bathroom, and police were unable to find anyone matching the employees' descriptions, reports stated.

The woman said she would contact police if anything more suspicious happened.


A UA employee's notary public stamp was stolen from her desk in the University Services building, 888 N. Euclid Ave, sometime between June 15 at 4 p.m. and June 17 at 3 p.m., reports stated.

The stamp was in an enclosed shelf above her desk, and when she went to retrieve the stamp it was missing.

The room is usually locked during the day and guests are escorted into the room.

Police have no suspects or witnesses.


A Medstart student was expelled from the program after she was found under the influence of marijuana - allegedly with another student - on June 17 at 11 p.m. in Coconino Residence Hall, 1003 N. Olive Road, reports stated.

The student told police the next day that she had smoked with a male student at around 10 p.m. the previous evening and that he had the pipe with him, reports stated.

The program coordinator approached the male student in class the next day with the woman's accusations, which he denied.

Police contacted the other student while he was away from his room at classes and he denied any drug use or possession and told officers he had not returned to his room all day.

According to reports, the student said he had been alone with the female student that night before 10 p.m. and they had walked west of Euclid Avenue and talked before returning to their residence hall.

He said he sat in his room for a while and he and another student went to the female student's room. He saw that she wasn't responding to questions and was generally, "out of it," reports stated.

The students left the female student's room because they thought they were making her uncomfortable.

Police searched the man's room and did not find any evidence of drugs or paraphernalia, reports stated.

The coordinator was told that the man's room was clean and was advised to contact UAPD for further assistance, reports stated.


Five "No Parking" and "Tow Away Zone" signs were stolen from the south parking lot of the Chi Omega sorority house, 1420 E. First St., between June 13 at 10 a.m. and June 16 at 1 p.m., reports stated.

Someone noticed the signs missing and called C & G Towing to inform the company of their disappearance.

The signs had apparently been pried off the stucco wall, because there were glue marks on the wall where they had been, reports stated.

Police tried to call the towing company for the value of the signs, but were unable to make contact.

Police have no suspects or witnesses.
