Despite a quiet UT-Iowa State game day this past weekend, the University of Texas police department’s crime blotter has been busy since we last checked in–and full of Crime Prevention Officer Darrell Halstead’s flair. (You could almost play your own “Campus Watch” drinking game with some of Officer Halstead’s token phrases, i.e. “Splash Zone.”) As usual, here are some of our favorite entries, with highlights bolded for your maximum amusement.

A Good Month for the Classics
DKR TEXAS MEMORIAL STADIUM, 2200 ROBERT Dedman Dr
Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor: A UT student approached a UT Police Officer and stated another student sitting in section 36 had just completed creating his own personal “Splash Zone” that would make Shamu proud. The student informed the officer he believed the vomiting student was under the influence of alcohol. Prior to the arrival of the officers, the vomiting student was being treated by Austin EMS. The student informed EMS to the fact he had been drinking prior to the start of the football game. The student was issued a court appearance citation for Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor once his age was verified. Occurred on: 10-20-12, at 8:25 PM.

CENTENNIAL PARK, 1500 Red River
Possession of Marijuana: UT Police Officers detected the odor of burning marijuana near where they were working. A search of the area revealed a non-UT subject holding a clear plastic baggie containing a green leafy substance. The subject informed the officers he had found some trash and was in the process of getting rid of it. While talking to the officers, the subject attempted to prevent the officers from seeing he was in fact holding a baggie of marijuana.

The officer soon learned the student was having a personal Shakespearian moment, a pee or not to pee moment. During the investigation, the officer detected a moderate odor of alcohol on the student’s breath and learned the student was under the legal age of 21. The student was issued a court appearance citation and was released. Prior to being released, the officer informed the student about a public restroom he could have used. Occurred on: 10-31-12, at 1:25 AM.

300 BLOCK WEST 24th STREET
Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor: A UT Police Officer observed a UT student attempting to support another UT student that appeared to be wearing the evidence of having had an extreme physical reaction to the over consumption of alcohol. However, she was not wearing it very well.  Two additional students were standing by. They informed the officers their friend had way too much to drink. I am sure the officers came to the same conclusion. The intoxicated student was issued a court appearance citation for Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor and released to two sober friends. Occurred on: 10-19-12, at 2:59 AM.
