A UA student called UAPD Wednesday after someone used funds from her bank account without her approval, reports stated.

The student told police she received a statement from her bank, Bank One, that said she charged $49.95 to a company called W.R.S. Web Services.

She contacted W.R.S. and was told the charges were for another company called "Mondo Porn," reports stated.

The student told police she had been charged erroneously twice before this incident and is willing to bring bank statements for evidence, reports stated.

The UAPD is investigating the incident and is looking for a computer I.P. address to locate a suspect.

Police arrested a man Wednesday during a check in a UA building, reports stated.

The officer was walking through the Main Library, 1510 E. University Blvd., at about 3:21 a.m. when he saw a man sleeping for about three minutes, reports stated.

He approached the sleeping man, later identified as Alevandro Granillo, 28, of the 6200 block of East Southland Boulevard, and asked him if he was a UA student.

Granillo told the officer he is a UA student, but he didn't have his CatCard with him at the time, reports stated.

As the officer contacted UAPD dispatch to find out if he is a student, Granillo admitted he wasn't a student, reports stated.

Granillo also told the officer he knew he wasn't supposed to be in the building because of a sign at the front of the library he saw that states only UA students and faculty are allowed in the Main Library between 1 a.m. and 7 :30 a.m., reports stated.

Granillo was cited on suspicion of criminal trespassing at the UA Main Library and released at the scene.
