University police found what they suspect is a crack pipe and bolt cutters Tuesday while talking to man and woman who had been reported panhandling outside the UA Associated Students Bookstore, 1209 E. University Blvd.

Police found Robin I. Coutire, 19, address unknown, and a 20-year-old woman in the courtyard east of the bookstore about 3:20 p.m.

According to police reports, officers saw track marks on their arms that suggested they used intravenous drugs.

When officers asked for identification, Coutire told police to get it out of his backpack, according to reports.

Police opened the pack to get the ID and saw a glass pipe and the bolt cutters, reports stated.

Coutire denied knowledge of the items being in his pack, reports stated.

However, both of them told police they used heroin and methamphetamines, according to reports.

Coutire was then arrested and released on a drug paraphernalia possession charge.

Police told them not to return to campus without a legitimate reason.

The pipe was taken for substance analysis.


University police warned four skaters to stop performing tricks on campus Wednesday after finding them with a video camera taping skateboard and rollerblade stunts outside the Education building, 1430 E. Second St.

An officer was in the building's lobby about 5:50 p.m. when he heard a loud crashing sound on the north side.

When the officer found the teenagers, one of the boys was putting a door mat on the steps and another boy was videotaping his friend doing tricks on his skateboard.

The officer told the boys this would be their last warning not to perform tricks on campus.


A male student went to UAPD headquarters Wednesday and gave police Polaroids of five men he believes may be exposing themselves at the Main Library, 1510 E. University Blvd.

The student told officers he has attended the UA for years and has "noticed several deviant acts being performed in the library."

He told police he wanted to help expose the five men in an attempt to discourage illicit behavior.

According to police reports, the student told officers about four specific men he has seen in the library.

His descriptions are as follows:

The Professional: an intelligent, poised man in his 30s who wears slacks and a dress shirt; usually carries a book under his arm as he wanders the library.

Grandpa: in his 50s; wears cowboy-cut jeans and "western" shirts with tennis shoes. According to the student, his actions are jumpy.

The Creep: carries a big backpack; wears deck shoes with no socks; has dark buzzed hair with a "slight street look."

The Big Guy: over 6 feet tall; a large, muscular frame. The man wears tight athletic shorts and reportedly sits in front of women and with his genitalia exposed.

A parking permit was taken from an unlocked vehicle Tuesday at the Park Avenue Garage, 1140 N. Park Ave.

A student told university police she parked her Toyota truck on the first level with the driver's door unlocked at 10 a.m. and returned about 3 p.m. to find the permit missing.
