Police beat

While investigating an unrelated incident Jan. 20, a UWPD officer encountered a young man in a Terry Hall lounge "stumbling and could barely stand."

When the officer confronted the man at about 2:40 a.m., the man entered a bathroom and started urinating on a wall.

After the man finished, the officer followed him to a couch in the lounge. The officer noticed the man was slurring his words and smelled strongly of alcohol.

The officer asked the man for identification, at which point the man gave the officer an Indiana driver's license with his picture on it. The officer ran the drivers license through UWPD dispatch, which was unable to find it on record. When the officer asked the man if the license was his real ID, the man said yes.

The officer then checked with the resident adviser on the man's floor to find his real information. The officer discovered the man possessed a Washington driver's license and was from Mill Creek, Wash. His actual birth date was later than the one listed on the Indiana driver's license, showing him to be under 21.

The officer gave the man a minor in possession citation, also writing him up for owning a fake ID. Before releasing him into the care of a friend, the officer seized the man's false ID and placed it into police evidence.

A female student called the UWPD Jan. 20 to report a series of mysterious text messages she received starting in Sept. 2005. The messages came from an unknown sender and always included comments about what she was wearing or carrying.

The woman said she believed the sender was enrolled in her 200-person lecture class that met in Smith 120 fall quarter. All the messages she received were sent during the class meeting time, she said. One of the messages included, "You look sexy," she told police.

The woman received a new message Jan. 20 commenting on an umbrella she was carrying. She showed the police the message on her phone, but said she still had no idea who was sending her the messages.
