Officers took a Tucson woman to Carrows restaurant, 2660 N. Campbell Ave., early Monday morning after they saw her arguing with a Tucson Police Department detective.

According to reports, officers were driving south on North Campbell Avenue near East Elm Street at 4:46 a.m. when they saw the detective and woman arguing near two University Medical Center security guards.

Police pulled over to see if they could be of assistance, and the woman told them she had just been released from UMC after being sexually assaulted by her husband earlier that morning.

The woman told university officers that she was very upset, reports stated. She said the doctors at UMC had strapped her to the bed, adding that she was having seizures and had a brain tumor.

The woman told police she was hungry and wanted eat at Carrows, reports stated.

University police took her there and released her.


A female student went to university police headquarters Monday afternoon and told officers her former boyfriend had violated a restraining order by driving by her three times.

According to police reports, the student told police a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend required him to stay at least 1,000 feet away from her. She said she was standing at 12:25 p.m. at a bus stop near the Student Recreation Center, 1400 E. Sixth St., when her ex-boyfriend, driving a blue Geo Metro, slowly drove past her eastbound on Sixth Street.

He then drove by her again going east on Sixth, slowed down, held up traffic, yelled something at her and then drove away, reports stated.

The woman told police she quickly walked west to another bus stop southeast of Sixth and Santa Rita Avenue. At that time, he drove by her again and stared at her - this time going west on Sixth, reports stated.

She told police he had been leaving notes on her car, sending her e-mails and paging her. Officers told her they would talk to her ex-boyfriend about the incident.


Police arrested a student on suspicion of carrying false identification Monday night after officers found three fake driver's licenses in his wallet.

The desk manager of Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall, 940 E. Fourth St., called police Monday at 11:33 p.m. after he found a wallet, which ended up containing false driver's licenses.

Two were valid licenses in the name of William L. Hoye, 19, of the 2100 block of West Speedway Boulevard. The third was a woman's license, police reports stated.

According to reports, another officer was on patrol when she stopped a white Chrysler driving south on North Park Avenue for making an illegal turn east on Sixth Street.

Hoye was driving the Chrysler and told police he had lost his wallet. The officer took Hoye to police headquarters where they gave Hoye his wallet.

Officers had Hoye fill out a voluntary statement about the fake driver's licenses. In the statement, Hoye wrote, "I got the IDs from a guy in Coronado. I don't know him so I don't know his name or room. I was planning to use it to be able to get into bars with my older friends. I was going to get her one too if they were good," reports stated.

Hoye told police he had never used the identifications because "they weren't very good."

The woman was reportedly his friend and Hoye told police he had never gotten around to giving it to her. Police cited Hoye and released him, reports stated.


University police arrested a male student Monday afternoon after he attempted to take a pack of pens and a highlighter from the Associated Students Bookstore, 1209 E. University Blvd.

According to police reports, undercover security guards saw Scott B. Shatford, 18, of the 800 block of North First Street, standing near the bookstore supply counter at 2:10 p.m. with the items in his hand. The guards saw him open his shirt and then walk away from the counter with nothing in his hands, reports stated.

The guards told police they saw a highlighter in his back pocket while he was walking out of the store. The guards stopped him and identified themselves, after which Shatford reportedly bumped into one of the guards and tried to get away. The guard grabbed Shatford by the legs until he gave up, reports stated.

Shatford filled out a voluntary statement after officers arrived. He told police he needed the $.89 highlighter and $11.99 package of pens, but didn't have the money for them.

Officers cited Shatford and released him.
