University police arrested two men Wednesday after witness saw them punching each other, reports stated.

An officer responded at 11:44 a.m. to Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall, 610 N. Highland Ave., and spoke with the dorm director who said he had separated the two men and had watched the fight happen.

According to police reports, Louis Drouant, 18, of the 7100 block of West Rivulet Drive, had a bloody nose when the officer arrived. Peter Garcia Romero, 20, of the 5900 block of South Sorrel Lane, had a bloody lip.

Both men refused medical attention, but Tucson Fire Department medics checked the men out anyway and cleared them, reports stated.

Drouant's girlfriend reportedly was moving out that day, and she and her roommate, Romero's girlfriend, were arguing.

Romero suggested he and Drouant step outside and Drouant agreed, reports stated.

The dorm director told police he wanted to press charges.

Romero and Drouant were cited on suspicion of disorderly conduct and released.


Four computer monitors suspected to be UA property were found by Tucson police early Wednesday morning, police reports stated.

The monitors, located at 2:50 a.m. lying on the ground on the west side of a parking garage at 498 W. Congress St., appeared to have been thrown from the garage's first floor.

Damage to the monitors was extensive, and Tucson police reported they were unsure if the monitors had been used for any criminal activity.

The serial numbers on the monitors led Tucson police to believe they might belong to the UA. The value of the monitors was unknown.

Whether they were actually UA property had yet to be determined.
