The message was sent to several e-mail addresses and it opened with, "I'm a fat, lonely girl" and gave the student's name and phone number for interested parties to contact her, reports stated.

The message ended with, "I'm a sophomore, so I'm legal in all states baby," reports stated.

The e-mail came from an America Online Internet address, reports stated.

The student told police she was informed by the Internet service that the original e-mail address was invalid.

In another incident, the student told university police, a man called her at 1 a.m. Tuesday and said, "What's your favorite scary movie?" imitating the movie "Scream."

The man called back about five minutes later but the student was unable to make out what he said.

The student told police she does not believe the incidents are related.

The last time money was stolen, the room was unoccupied and unlocked for about two hours while she was next door, reports stated.

The stolen handgun university police recovered during a traffic stop Monday apparently had traveled across the country before ending up in Tucson.

According to police reports, the 9 mm semi-automatic pistol had been issued to an Army soldier in Alabama.

The man who claimed ownership of the pistol told police his brother-in-law purchased the weapon at a Sierra Vista gun shop.

According to reports, gun shop employees told police that a Fort Huachuca soldier had sold it to the store in March of 1996.

A check revealed the gun had been issued to the soldier while he was stationed in Alabama.

According to reports, the Pima County Sheriff's Office reported the soldier was involved in a 1995 driving incident on Interstate 10. In that incident, reports stated, the soldier was a passenger in a car when a handgun was flashed at other drivers.

The handgun has not yet been returned to the current owner.
