An man reportedly harassed a female student Thursday in the Forbes Building, 1140 E. South Campus Drive.
The student told police she noticed the man following her at 3:45 p.m. near Social Sciences.
The man followed the student into the Forbes Building, then brushed up against her and touched her buttocks, police reports stated.
The student went to work and thought the man had left. When the student went to make a delivery, she saw the man standing near an outside staircase. She then called university police.
She told police the man appeared to be a student.

A female student jogging Friday at 10:30 a.m. saw a man who allegedly assaulted her last month.
The student was jogging on East Speedway Boulevard approaching North Tyndall Avenue when she heard someone riding behind her on a bicycle. The student said the man on the bicycle was the same person who had "grabbed her behind" Sept. 2, police reports indicated.
The man looks like "a cabbage patch doll," the student told university police.

A female student reported her fish was taken this weekend from her room in Coronado Residence Hall, 822 E. Fifth St.
Between Friday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 9:30 p.m., someone emptied the student's fish bowl - fish, rocks, water and all. Several index cards were left in the bowl.
"What is the matter with you. You were lucky to have a living thing that depended on you alone. But you destroyed that gift you fucking bitch," one of the index cards read.
The student said that index cards had been left for her before, including one that stated "Feed your fish."
The student said she did not want to prosecute.

A male student allegedly assaulted another male student Thursday after a business deal fell through.
The second student told university police that he and the other student had been planning to buy a car together. The first student wanted the second to go to Las Vegas to buy it to save money on taxes, but the second student reportedly did not want to.
The first student got angry, and the second student decided it would be better not to buy a car with the first student, according to police reports.
The two encountered each other again Thursday at 12:30 p.m. at the Center for English as a Second Language, 1100 E. North Campus Drive.
The first student allegedly kicked the second in the face and punched him in the chest and right arm.
The second student told police the other is a tae kwon do expert and a former member of the Korean Special Forces.
The second student allegedly was intimidated into writing a check for $450 to the first student. The check was cashed Friday.
Police attempts to find the first student at his dorm were unsuccessful. Pictures of the student's bruises and a copy of the check were placed into evidence.

A university police cruiser traveling northbound Saturday on North Campbell Avenue ran into a van.
The officer was stopped at 7:25 a.m. in the left turn lane at East Speedway Boulevard. The officer noticed traffic on both sides of him moving forward, and he then drove forward. A white van in front of his police cruiser had not moved, and the officer "slightly rear ended" the van. The officer said he was traveling between 2 and 5 mph.
Afterward, the van's driver complained of lower back pain, but did not want medical attention. The Tucson Police Department took the case. No damage to the van or cruiser was mentioned in police reports.

A man was removed from Arizona Stadium, 541 N. Vine Ave., Saturday at 10 p.m.
A Tucson man and three boys were watching the game in Section 21 of the stadium. The man sitting behind them, Christopher K. Clausen, 42, of the 3000 block of East Lester Street, asked the boys not to make any loud noises during the game, the Tucson man told police.
After a play caused all four people to stand up, Clausen allegedly grabbed one of the boy's legs and "started swinging wild punches," the Tucson man told police. When police arrived, Clausen and the Tucson man were scuffling. Clausen was cited for disorderly conduct and removed from the stadium.
