A student called university police Friday night to report damage to her vehicle.

The student told police her 1989 Nissan Altima was keyed in different places during the past four weeks, including her trunk, both sides of the car and the hood, police reports stated.

She told the officer that she believed her ex-boyfriend was the person who did it because he threatened to key her car during an argument, reports stated.

Police located the ex-boyfriend who told the officer he keyed her car and wanted to be arrested to ease his guilt, reports stated.

When police asked him again if he caused the damage, he changed his answer, and said he did not key the car but confessed to the crime only to make the break-up easier, reports stated.

Police asked the student where the car was keyed and he could not describe the damage, reports stated.

The officer said he did not believe the student caused the damage and could not arrest him, reports stated.

An officer went to the Circle K, 1610 E. Sixth St., at about 8 p.m. where he encountered Olivia Rascon Mena, 30. Police did not record Mena's address in official reports.

The clerk told police he asked Mena to leave the property because she was panhandling. The employee said Mena refused to leave, and said, "I'm not leaving - call the cops," reports stated.

Mena was taken to Pima County Jail on suspicion of third degree criminal trespass and released on a $112 bond.

Vega told the officer he had never owned a driver license.

During a background check, police discovered Vega's driver license had been revoked, prompting the officers to arrest Vega on suspicion of driving with a revoked driver license and giving false information to a police officer, reports stated.
