The police blotter is one of a few redeeming Technician features. I am often amazed by the total lack of notable activity on this campus. This thread, I hope, will chronicle some of the more interesting reports.

"12:35 PM Suspicious Person A non-student reported he was taking photos at College of Engineering and a subject walking his dog kept getting into photos after being asked not to. Officers looked for the subject, but he had left prior to their arrival."

"1:32 PM Suspicious Incident A student reported that someone had written "Laos People Suck" on a dry erase board. She had erased it last week, but it was there again today."

"8:11 PM Harassment A student reported that a subject had sent her several e-mail messages. No threats were made. The student wanted us to be aware, and to get options on what she could do. Officer advised. The student will tell author of e-mail to stop, and advise us of further incidents."

Sarose?

Tell the other person to stop? That's a novel concept.

I love it when they end on that note. "Everything was OK."

4/18/2005 5:07:46 PM

How many times to the cops go to check something out and never find anything? If you get caught, you must be pretty damn stupid.

And I hate the days the Technician doesn't print the blotter. It should always be printed, everyday.

4/18/2005 5:11:23 PM

i remember one a while ago where two roomates got into a fight because one roomate left the other's bag of cookies open. it said "the cookies got stale"

4/18/2005 5:30:07 PM

he threatened to kill him because he left out the cookies

4/18/2005 5:45:18 PM

haha yeah. i think i'm gonna start a police blotter scrap book

4/18/2005 5:47:26 PM

hey jackleg....how would I call that function? out of interest...

4/18/2005 5:56:24 PM

OMG....I went to look at my school's 'blotter' but the 'Daily Wildcat' has the 'Police Beat' which has some of the more interesting/detailed ones.... here's one from Friday

A student reported a suspicious man Thursday who was walking with two bicycles and a pair of bolt cutters, reports stated.

The man was later arrested for possession of marijuana and crystal methamphetamine and had several warrants out for his arrest, reports stated.

Police spotted the man at East Speedway Boulevard and North Euclid Avenue and he said he owned one bicycle and the other he borrowed from a friend, reports stated.

The man said he had bolt cutters because he forgot the combination to his lock, reports stated.

Police conducted a record search and found the man had four warrants out for his arrest, reports stated.

Police asked if they could ask questions and search him, and the man said, "Yeah, sure," reports stated.

The man said he had a glass pipe in his front pocket that he used for "meth," reports stated.

Police also found a rolled up cigarette with marijuana, but the man said he had no idea how it got in his pocket, reports stated.

Neither bike had been reported stolen and since the man's arrest, no victims of stolen bikes have come forward, reports stated.

One thing of value that I have learned from the Police Blotter is not to speed on Sullivan Drive. Every time they print it in the paper, there are 2-3 citations on Sullivan Drive at the least. Take note.

For a second there, I thought the cop found someone in HIS vehicle.

4/19/2005 3:49:16 PM

I thought exactly the same thing the first time I read it.

4/19/2005 4:04:22 PM

^^ lol. now that would be hilarious. And they are hell on sullivan drive I've never seen a day that they didn't get a couple people. Most of them are for 40+ in a 25. I think they just get bored and sit on that road for the hell of it. They're guaranteed that someone will break the speed limit.

4/19/2005 5:01:56 PM

25 is ridulously slow. I've seen them give citations for 38 in a 25. Harsh.

probably the only time the campus police have ever needed a gun.


^^ Will a 9mm bullet kill a deer? But then again, I doubt he went home, got his hunting rifle and came back to finish it off, so yeah prob the pistol, the police blotter need more details!

[Edited on April 21, 2005 at 8:47 PM. Reason : ]

4/21/2005 8:46:46 PM

at close range, a 9mm will kill a deer very effectively.

4/21/2005 8:56:51 PM

So he probably used his pistol then.

4/21/2005 9:00:12 PM

a lot of people don't know how to kill animals and just shoot it in the head carelessly
you can take out the front of the brain and they'll still be alive
