Police arrested a 37-year-old female Tuesday afternoon for making harassing phone calls to a Residence Life maintenance employee. They also found property belonging to Residence Life maintenance in her house which she said her husband, a University of Arizona employee, brought home.

Sandra Kmetz, of the 9300 block of South Patricia Drive, admitted to making the phone calls to annoy the employee because she said the employee made comments about being Kmetz's children's stepmother. Kmetz and her husband are in the process of getting a divorce.

Kmetz was not arrested for possession of the Residence Life property found in her home, which included an oak table, bookshelves, telephones and tennis rackets. Police are still investigating.
