From today's Campus Watch crime report:
Public Intoxication / Assist Outside Agency / UTPD Warrant Service (2300 Guadalupe)
A non-UT subject was found laying face-up and "passed-out" on the sidewalk. The subject had been laying on the sidewalk long enough for several cockroaches to begin "crawling on or about his person." The subject was found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage to the point he was a physical endangerment to himself. The subject was found to have an outstanding outside agency arrest warrant for public intoxication and two outstanding UTPD arrest warrants for public intoxication. Occurred on 7-22-04 at 12:55 am.
Normally, I wouldn't spotlight this kind of report because it's just sad. And, icky. However, there's a feature of the Campus Watch report called the "Crime Prevention Tip of the Day" that referred back to this report. The tip did make me laugh. Here you go:
Crime Prevention Tip of the Day
If the thought of legal troubles, medical concerns or social problems do not convince you to drink sensibly, then maybe the fear of bugs crawling on you will help you to be a more responsible drinker. I can't think of anyone who would drink themselves to the point they would allow cockroaches to crawl all over them. If you are 21 years old or older and wish to consume alcoholic beverages, then drink responsibly. Never allow yourself to loose control. If you're under the age of 21 then don't drink at all.
Good common-sense advice! Just think about the bugs!
