From confiscated marijuana pipes to auto theft, 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.

Monday, Aug. 3

Authorities responded to a trespass in the 1101 Café and booked the suspect into King County Jail after he kicked and spat at police officers upon their arrival.

An anonymous caller reported that a large window had been shattered on the first floor of William H. Gates Hall. The 9-foot-by-6-foot window is estimated to cost $3,000 to replace.

Thursday, Aug. 6

An officer confronted a person sleeping in the bushes by the C10 parking lot on the north side of Stevens Way. The suspect was read a criminal trespass warning and left campus without further questioning.

Officers found a marijuana pipe on the person of an intoxicated subject by the West Campus parking garage. After failing to respond to authorities asking if he needed help, a medic unit was dispatched to the scene. The individual was not charged with a crime, but the device was confiscated for destruction.

A man in the process of lighting what appeared to be a marijuana pipe in the 4400 block of the Ave was confronted by authorities. After responding that he was indeed smoking marijuana, the suspect’s pipe was confiscated and he was given a verbal warning.

Police responded to a call about $4 in change that was missing from a vehicle that had been parked by the UW Medical Center valet service.

Friday, Aug. 7

A truck parked in the E1 parking lot was stolen between the hours of 5:30 a.m. and 2:40 p.m.

Two victims were robbed at Northeast 50th Street and Roosevelt Way Northeast at about 3:15 a.m. The individuals were intoxicated after partying and invited two unknown males to continue partying with them. Once in the victim’s vehicle, the suspects robbed the individuals at gunpoint. One victim escaped the scene, while the other was attacked and treated for facial injuries at Harborview Medical Center.

The UW Police Department and the Seattle Police Department provide the information for this column.
