A University Medical Center employee called UAPD for assistance with a potential stalker on Aug. 19, reports stated.

The employee, who had reported the supervisor to Human Resources in January, claims the supervisor may be behind a string of recent anonymous reports of criminal activity made to the police and Child Protective Services, about the employee and his family.

According to reports, in January the supervisor vowed to get revenge on the employee for reporting her to Human Resources for prior harassment.

The following month, a call was placed to CPS regarding a claim of potential neglect of the employee's child. The allegations were later proved false, reports stated.

In May, the employee's wife was named as a suspect in a crime involving attainment of false prescriptions, despite the fact that she did not match the description of the suspect.

The wife's name had been given to police by another anonymous source.

According to reports, the allegations again proved to be false.

The employee decided to call UAPD after all of the pictures of his child were stolen from his desk at work in July, reports stated

No further action has been taken in the case.


UAPD units responded to a request for assistance made by a TPD officer in pursuit of a drunk driver on Aug. 17 at 1:52 a.m., reports stated.

Police spotted the driver as he swerved in and out of the center lane on South Kino Parkway and East 22nd Street.

The driver failed to yield to the officer even after he turned on the emergency lights, leading the TPD officer to request assistance, reports stated.

The UAPD officer witnessed the driver crossing in and out of the street, swerving into oncoming traffic several times and eventually sideswiping the median of a railroad crossing on East 22nd Street, reports stated.

After hitting the median, the driver continued to drive in the center lane of the street, periodically swerving against traffic and driving through a red light at the intersection of East 22nd Street and South 4th Avenue, eventually turning north onto East 8th Avenue, reports stated.

While driving north on East 8th Avenue, the driver blew out the right front tire of his vehicle between West 24th and 25th streets. He continued to drive on East 8th Street, failing to stop at a stop sign, reports stated.

The vehicle finally came to a rest on West 27th Street where the driver tried to exit the car, stumbling head first onto the ground. As he tried to get up, the vehicle rolled backwards, knocking the driver back down with the open driver side door.

The vehicle continued to roll backwards until it hit the police car directly behind it.

The TPD officer restrained the driver and took over the investigation from there.


UAPD stopped a white Geo Prism on North Euclid Avenue when the driver failed to stop at a red light before turning onto East University Boulevard, reports stated.

The driver had previously been cited by UAPD for driving with a suspended license and registration. He had also been cited by TPD for minor in possession, reports stated.

The driver was booked for the previous warrants and cited for failing to yield at a red light.


UAPD stopped a motorist for a broken taillight on 8110 E. Speedway Blvd. and found the passenger in the vehicle holding a can of beer, reports stated.

The passenger was holding a can of Bud Light that was 2/3 full. He later admitted to drinking the beer, reports stated.

The passenger was cited with having spirituous liquor in a motor vehicle and released at the scene, reports stated.


A student reported her blue Schwinn bicycle stolen on Aug. 24.

According to reports, the bicycle was parked at 1400 E. 6th St. in a bike rack earlier in the day, and when she returned it was missing.

The student immediately called UAPD and filed a report.

There are no suspects or witnesses at this time, reports stated.
