A female resident of Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall, 910 E. Fifth St, reported receiving harassing phone calls Saturday from an unknown man.
The man called six times between 4:25 and 4:45 a.m.
The first time the man called, the resident picked up the phone and talked to him. He called her by name, but did not identify himself. The resident hung up.
Ten seconds later, the man called back, but the resident allowed the answering machine to pick up.
The man left five successive messages.
In the first, the man said he was waiting downstairs with a pizza and called the resident a "bitch."
In the second message, he said he was from a delicatessen and that he had a sandwich for the student in a "cozy box." He told her to try not to move the box excessively "because it's really a bomb."
In the third message, the man said, "There's a bomb in your building. When the building goes over 50 miles per hour, the bomb is armed. When the building goes under 50 miles per hour, the building will explode."
Message four said, "This is (inaudible) from the Michigan Militia. We are going to bomb any federal building in the area of Tucson, Arizona, starting with yours. You think I'm kidding. Don't get up, it's pressure sensitive on your bed. Oh,oh,oh,oh. I see you are leaning forward."
In the last message, the male left a message having to do with his hemorrhoids and a glasses appointment. He said his name was Saul Rosenberg.
At 4:45 a.m., the resident unplugged her phone for the night.
The answering machine tape was placed into evidence.

A man reportedly exposed himself to a female student Saturday in the Highland Avenue Tunnel.
About 1:50 p.m., the student was walking north through the tunnel as the man walked south. As she approached the man, she noticed his pants were open and his penis exposed.
As the student walked by, the man said, "Let's have some of that pussy."
The man did not attempt to touch or grab the student and university police were unable to find him.

Two vacuum cleaners were stolen from the McKale Center, 1721 E. Enke Drive.
The head custodian told university police he locked three vacuums in a storage room Saturday night about midnight. When he returned Sunday night at midnight, two of them were gone.
Several custodians have keys to the room and police found no signs of forced entry.
The upright vacuum cleaners were valued at $250 each.

Two Zone 1 parking permits were taken from two vehicles parked in the UA lot at East Sixth Street and North Highland Avenue.
A male student had his permit hanging from the rearview mirror of his 1990 Ford sedan when he parked Saturday night about midnight. When he returned at 3:20 p.m., the permit was missing.
There were no signs of forced entry. The student told university police he was unsure whether or not he had locked his doors.
A second student parked his brown 1978 Jeep CJ7 Sept. 3 at 5 p.m., and when she returned Saturday at 5 p.m., the permit was gone.
The Jeep has a soft top which can be easily unsecured.
The permits were valued at $160 each.

Part of a truck was stolen Monday from the UA lot at East Fifth Street and North Euclid Avenue.
A female employee told university police she parked her 1994 Chevrolet pickup in the lot when she went to work at 8 a.m. She returned at 5 p.m. to discover a rail attached to the cab of her truck missing.
There was no other damage to the vehicle.
The value of the rail was unknown.

A piece of medical equipment was reported stolen Friday from the Arizona Cancer Center, 1501 N. Campbell Ave.
An employee said the stainless-steel medical dishwasher was discovered missing on Aug. 30, and that a search of the building was unsuccessful.
The dishwasher, which is used to move glassware around the center, was left in a hallway adjacent to a lab before being discovered missing.
The dishwasher was valued at $1,000.
