Hide Your French Fries: Suspicious "Person" On The UT Campus
The University of Texas Police Department's Campus Watch, the almost daily roundup of crime and odd goings-on on the University of Texas campus, is one of our little pleasures. Mostly a catalog of awkward encounters, improperly secured bicycles, and potentially poor life decisions with the occasional helpful hint or wry comment, CW affords multiple opportunities for amusement. A personal favorite:

Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor: A UT student was discovered looking over his shoulder while facing the north exterior wall of Jester. 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.Today's Campus Watch yielded this gem:
MAIN BUILDING, 110 Inner Campus Dr Suspicious Person: Several UT Police Officers responded to Room 8 after receiving various alarms within minutes of each other. Officers discovered entry into the room had been made through the ceiling. The A/C ceiling vent was lying on the floor along with dust and other ceiling materials. Officers began searching the office and discovered a masked non-UT subject attempting to hide by hanging onto the wall molding and a window blind. The subject refused to comply with the officers requests to come out with his hands up. The subject even refused the officers coaxing when the officer handed over the Jack in the Box French Fries. The non-UT subject escaped through an open window and evaded the officers. The non-UT subject was described as: Three feet tall, last seen wearing a brown and black stripped [sic] coat, furry gloves and black mask over his eyes. Occurred on: 11-20-12, at 2:41 AM.Perhaps "person" should be in quotes, 'cause we're pretty sure that's either the Hamburglar or a really big raccoon. All the same, y'all keep an eye on your French fries.
