-Spring `99
The following has
been judged as the Best of Crime Log by Planet Footey. My personal commentary
follows some of the entries.
Tuesday, Jan. 12
11
p.m.--Complainant reported his White 1977 Chevrolet Caprice was stolen
from the Greve Hall horseshoe parking lot.
(while
i do not find it funny that a person's car was stolen, i was wondering
why a car was parked in a space reserved for horseshoes)
Wednesday, Jan.
13
3:14
a.m.--Fort Sanders security reported they have an officer standing
by at Laurel and 19th Street with an intoxicated female UT student. They
would like for a UTPD officer to pick her up.
(now
as i see it, the fort sanders security guards function only as date suppliers
for the UTPD ..... come on, don't the UTPD have something else to do other
than pick up drunk girls ... they could do that off duty on the strip)
3:29
a.m.--Complainant reported a suspicious male with a blanket came out
of the bushes and then disappeared at Austin Peay Building.
(my
theory .... the suspicious male was looking for his therapist in the austin
peay psychology building ... where he then discussed how he sneaks around
campus by hiding in bushes because he doesn't want everyone to laugh at
him b/c of his identity crisis with peanut's characters )
Friday, Jan. 15
5:39
p.m.--Officer was assisting KPD with a domestic problem at Taco Bell.
(the
soft shell taco and the hard shell taco were in an argument over which
hot sauce to use)
Monday, Jan. 18
2:00
a.m.--Officer was flagged down in reference to a male who was locked
in the library.
(anyone
wondering where this guy was when the library closed ... was he asleep
in a corner somewhere? my idea is that he was hiding somewhere just curious
to see if he could he could find a way to stay in the library after closing
and not get caught .... wasn't such a fun trick, when he found out he couldn't
get out later ....)
Tuesday, Jan. 19
3:17
p.m.--Complainant reported a group of people skateboarding in the plaza

of ut?)

of Taliwa Additions Building #1. Subject was stooping down, lighting matches

theory, officer shows up later to find that suspicious person is having

Wednesday, Feb.

4:22
p.m.--Officers out at the Aquatic Center were checking for illegally
parked vehicles.
(this
one made my best of list only b/c i didn't feel this even needed to be
in the crime log to begin with .... illegally parked cars at the aquatic
center is a round the clock all year long occurrence ... not a multi-officer
(note the report says officers) reportable offense)
