Police Files: March 5

Harrassing texts

A student made a harassment report Feb. 21. 

The student said she was in her biology class when she received a text message. She initially ignored it, but received several other messages from the unknown number, inquiring about her relationship status and friends on her Facebook page.  

The student said her boyfriend was an overprotective type.

An officer contacted the number and left voicemail, but contact was never made with the suspect.

 

Minor in possesion 

A misdemeanor for minor in possession was issued Feb. 14. 

After receiving a loud noise complaint in East Vandenberg Hall, the resident assistant smelled alcohol and saw a game of beer pong upon going to the room. 

An officer arrived on scene and noticed a female with clear signs of intoxication, including bloodshot eyes and nervousness. 

A breathalyzer test put her blood-alcohol level at .034. The officer issued the misdemeanor and confiscated a bottle of Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum.

 

Driving under the influence

An officer observed a car driving erratically near Squirrel Road and Walton Boulevard. 

The officer pulled the vehicle over and could smell a strong stench of alcohol.

 The driver said he had a couple beers earlier in the night, and the officer performed multiple field sobriety tests. 

The suspect did not correctly do a Breathalyzer test – he sucked into the unit instead of blowing. After learning how to use the device, his blood-alcohol level came to a .1.

The officer placed him under arrest for Operating While Intoxicated and transported him back to OUPD for booking.
