Show E DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE Friday, March 30,2007 Police Report: Slapping, stealing and the hiding in the JCC Hit and run, U style Unhappy that his car was being booted for parking irregularities, a man backed up his vehicle and hit a parking enforcement officer. Though the vehicle only grazed the officer, it hit the parking enforcement vehicle and caused about $1,500 in damage. The suspect then drove off. Charges are pending. The moral: Don't mess with U students, parking enforcement officers, or we will graze you with our cars and semi-damage your vehicle. You have been warned. Charity check A student living in the Residence Halls reported that 100 of his checks were missing. The student said he suspects the thief was someone in the area who was soliciting donations for a charity. This is why you should never trust the Klepto Recovery Fund people— never, ever. Hole in the door A visitor in the Residence Halls was so upset that he vented his anger by punching a hole in an apartment door. Charges are pending. Sleeping around A man who fell asleep in the lobby of University Hospital reported that his laptop computer was stolen while he was napping. The computer had been on the floor next to him. Maybe he shouldn't have been such a Napster. Making bank A man who was admitted to University Hospital had more than $1,500 in cash at the time of his emergency admission. The cash was supposed to have been secured in a hospital safe, but was later reported missing. Ka-ching! Dr. Ana Breton scored major dough, suckas! All in the family A woman was visiting her husband's mother at University Hospital when her husband's ex-wife allegedly assaulted her by slapping her in the face. Charges are pending. Mining for trouble Four students were cited for trespassing after they were caught in the Mines Building at 1:30 a.m. I don't really understand why, though. I mean, look at these kids' dedication MONSON TO SPEAK AT GRADUATION to their academicsl Mines Building at 1 a.m.? OK, yeah, they were probably trying to steal things. Grant scam A student was tricked into giving her debit card number to a person who called about some grant money she had allegedly been awarded. The student then discovered her debit card had been charged more than $300. Sorry to break the news, but the Chartwells Has Good Food Grant isn't real. The copper coward Police received a tip that someone was in the construction area north of University Hospital at 1:30 a.m. The responding officers found a man who said he had been told to pick up several 10-foot long scrap copper wire pieces on the site. The man then offered to show the officers the person who gave him the instructions to pick up the wire. As he led the way, he bolted, leading the officers on a short foot-chase before he was caught in the Jewish Community Center. He was booked into jail on burglary and fleeing charges as well as an outstanding warrant for a probation violation.

The male victim did not press charges and sought an apology instead. Bail for Lindsey-Goldsborough was set at $20,000. \ 4 6 O MILES FROM LAS VEGAS Donate plasma. 1c pays to save a life. 3 5 TODAY 7 O THIS WEEK ZLB Plasma FOR NEW DONORS Catch the Excitement at our New Downtown Restaurant one block south of Gateway NOW HIRING G Part-time Package Handlers $9.00-$ 10:25 Student helps envixonmen^ ^ to improve health ,. >..;, •:•;•< i did look closely at their budget when considVie Daily Utah Chwnicle ering this purchase.
