A 24-year-old man was arrested twice last week for trespassing in the Harshbarger Building and for stealing a bicycle.

Rodney Lindsey, of the 1300 block of South Fourth Avenue, was arrested Wednesday for trespassing after he refused to heed a warning by police to leave the computer lab in the Harshbarger Building. Because Lindsey is not a student, he is not allowed use of UA computers.

On Thursday, Lindsey was arrested a second time after police witnessed him stealing a bicycle.

Police were flagged down by a man near campus who said he saw a suspicious person lurking in the bicycle racks in front of the Harshbarger building.

Officers observed a man, later identified as Lindsey, walking through various bicycle racks and pulling on locks. After checking several bicycle locks, Lindsey was seen taking an unsecured black Schwinn one-speed bicycle which he claimed was his.

When questioned by police Lindsey admitted to attempting to steal bicycles from campus.

Lindsey was taken to Pima County Jail for processing.
