From stolen family heirlooms to intoxicated students, this weekly crime blotter aims to inform readers about offenses on and surrounding campus. While in-depth articles may be written about specific incidents, this column provides a brief overview of recent crimes that impact the UW community.

Friday, Nov. 13

Officers responded to the Husky Union Building after a victim reported receiving harassing e-mails and text messages from someone she formerly dated. He continued contacting her after she asked him to stop and reportedly made threats to kill the victim and other coworkers. A protection order was obtained due to concerns that the suspect would follow through with his threats.

During a building check in the Social Work and Speech Building, officers discovered a man sleeping in the back corner of a classroom. He had a container of malt liquor on his person and appeared to be intoxicated. The man told officers he was looking for a place to sleep, and authorities formally trespassed him from the building.

Police encountered a man in the N8 parking lot who stumbled towards an officer and asked the policeman if he was lost. The officer then asked the suspect for identification, at which point the man argued that he was 21 and was allowed to drink vodka and iced tea when he wanted. The officer explained open-container regulations and issued the man a citation as the suspect dumped out the liquid and threw his cup.

Officers found five people huddled underneath the University Bridge and approached the individuals, who possessed a red pipe with burnt marijuana residue. The suspects handed over the pipe and a bag of a green leafy substance that appeared to be marijuana. Out of the five suspects, four were UW students, and all were cooperative and left without incidence.

Two males and a female walking toward Lander Hall were approached by two males near the Children’s Care Center by Lincoln Way and Cowlitz Road. One of the suspects pointed a black handgun at the three, taking three laptops, a cell phone, a wallet and an external hard drive. A third female suspect stood about 40 feet from the scene, waving and yelling at the males to hurry. There are no suspects at this time.

Officers responded to Lander Hall after a report of the smell of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. Police contacted the inhabitants of the room and found that one had red eyes. The suspect produced a glass pipe from under his bed, and his roommate said he thought the suspect had been smoking cigarettes. Officers confiscated the paraphernalia and gave the individuals a verbal warning.

An unknown suspect tagged Condon Hall with graffiti on an outside wall and a pay booth on the South side of the building. The estimated damage is $200.

Tuesday, Nov. 17

A cashier at the Plaza Café called authorities after receiving a $20 bill with an upside-down White House. Officers contacted the customer who used the counterfeit bill and sent the evidence to the Secret Service after the suspect said he was not aware that the money was fraudulent.

A victim reported that a ring, given to her by her recently deceased grandmother, and some cash were stolen from her locker in the Hec Edmundson Pavilion. The room has key, code and fingerprint locks, and other people told the victim that someone had rummaged through her things. It appeared that someone propped open the door and forgot to close it.
