Burglary of Motor Vehicle / Criminal Mischief / Evading: A UT police officer discovered a non-UT subject attempting to gain entrance into a red Dodge truck that was parked on the 3rd level of the garage. When the suspect saw the officer, he took off running. According to several witnesses, the suspect used “cat-like reflexes” and jumped from the 2nd level to the ground level and continued running. With the speed of a gazelle, the officer gave chase and was able to take the suspect into custody. During the investigation, the officer soon learned that the suspect had burglarized a tan Kia and had removed an iPod mini. The suspect was charged with Burglary of Motor Vehicle / Criminal Mischief / Evading after being transported to Central Booking. Occurred on: 7-29-08, at 9:30 AM.

Driving While Intoxicated / Evading / Public Intoxication: A UT police officer discovered two non-UT subjects inside an illegally parked vehicle.  The officer told both subjects to make themselves appropriately attired prior to exiting the vehicle.  The officer then observed the non-UT female subject exit the vehicle and run in the direction of Waller Creek.  The subject apparently attempted to make the US Olympic swim team, by diving head first into Waller Creek.  Two breath strokes later, she emerged onto the other side, into the awaiting police officer.  The officer noted that the subject had a very strong odor of alcohol on her breath. The subject was taken into custody for Public Intoxication and Evading.

Thanks Katie for the heads up.
