This is a part of the daily activity

a criminal incident on campus, call 817-272-3381.
Campus police arrested a non-student early
Friday morning for driving while intoxicated. Officers reported
the driver was speeding and hit the curb several times. After pulling
over, the driver reversed the vehicle and struck the police squad
car. The subject failed a sobriety test and was taken to Arlington
City Jail. There was no significant damage, but the driver will
be charged for the accident, police said.
A campus police officer reported Friday morning that lighting around
the northwest area of Maverick Stadium needs to be improved because
more people are jogging in the dark. Reports stated students are
jogging around the outside of the stadium because the gates are
locked after dark.
A student reported to campus police Friday afternoon she was feeling
ill. Reports state the student is a diabetic and was transported
from the Geoscience Building to Arlington Memorial Hospital for
observation.
A student drove his vehicle over the curb and on the sidewalk at
the Arlington Hall parking lot early Saturday morning. A campus
police officer witnessed the act and issued a disciplinary referral.
Police advise that disciplinary referrals are handled by the dean
of students, who can recommend a period of probation and expulsion
from the university.
Campus police stopped a student carrying a laptop computer through
parking lot 45 on Sunday morning. Officers checked the computer
for UTA markings and discovered the student had checked the laptop
out from the engineering department. Police advise that anyone carrying
equipment on weekends, holidays or late at night may be stopped
and queried.
