From confiscated marijuana pipes to stolen property, 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.

An unknown suspect stole an MP3 player from a car in the N15 parking lot. The victim forgot to lock the vehicle, and the estimated loss is $40.
Saturday, Oct. 31
A student forgot her card case containing a debit and husky card in the dining area of McMahon Hall around 5 p.m. and returned around 8:30 p.m. to find the items missing. The victim cancelled the cards and there are no suspects at this time.
Sunday, Nov. 1
Officers responded to a call from McMahon Hall after an RA smelled marijuana coming from one of the clusters during nightly rounds. Police heard shuffling and a drawer close after they knocked on the door and detected the distinct odor of marijuana. Upon entering the room, officers confiscated a multicolored glass-pipe containing a burnt substance. Prior contact had been made with the cluster regarding marijuana and a warning was issued.
Staff at the UW Medical Center ER asked an individual to leave after she threw a plastic bottle across the room. The suspect proceeded to flail her arms, striking the staff member across the right side of her face with an open hand. The suspect told police that she was in extreme pain and had been waiting in the ER for four days. She requested to be transported to another medical facility and was taken to the UW Police Department for processing. The woman was arrested and booked into King County Jail for assault in the fourth degree.
Monday, Nov. 2
Officers responded to Johnson Hall and contacted a man and a woman outside the building. After being asked for identification, the woman complied, and the male suspect fled into the building. Backup officers arrived, and after a short foot-chase, the suspect was apprehended. The female had a misdemeanor warrant for theft, and the man had a felony escape warrant and was active with the Department of Corrections.
Friday, Nov. 6
A funeral procession to Key Arena will be held for Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton, who was killed in the line of duty Oct. 31st. Vehicles will gather in the E-1 parking lot before the cortege begins at 9 a.m. Montlake Boulevard and Northeast Pacific Street are expected to be impacted for roughly two and a half hours.
