While You Were Sleeping

UA Area, Dec. 12, 12:37 a.m.

A female UA student who had dozed off while studying at the library suspected a man ejaculated on her back while she snoozed, a University of Arizona Police Department report stated.

The student and a friend had been studying together on the fifth floor of the UA Main Library, 1510 E. University Blvd., when she fell asleep.

The woman said she woke up around 11:45 p.m. and noticed a man sitting directly behind her who appeared to be studying. She then fell asleep again, the report said.

When the woman awoke again around 12:15 a.m., she said the back of her shirt felt wet. She touched it with her hand and found that "sticky goo" was stuck to her palm, the report stated. The woman said the "texture and smell of the fluid" led her to believe it was semen.

"Sticky goo" spots were also on the back of the chair and on the floor nearby. The woman's friend, who had been sitting opposite the woman, said she saw the man sitting behind the woman walk around the area before she fell asleep, too.

The friend said she was not sure if she would be able to identify the man in the future. Police placed the woman's T-shirt into evidence and took swabs of the desk and chair.

There was no further information at the time of the report.


Hand-to-Walker Combat

Wetmore Road and La Cañada Drive, Feb. 5, 11:51 a.m.

A woman used her walker to fend off the unwanted advances of an intoxicated man, prompting him to lament that women never talk to him, a Pima County Sheriff's Department report said.

The woman told a deputy that she had been "accosted" by a man in his 50s who approached her and said, "Hi, madam." She said she greeted him, and then he put his hand on her "hiney."

The woman said the stranger then tried to grab "other places" on her body. She told a deputy the man grabbed her arm, and she spun around and blocked him with her walker.

As the woman was walking away, the man allegedly said, "Crazy women, no one will talk to me."

The woman spoke to her landlord, who said similar incidents had happened before with the man, who is also a tenant.

According to the report, the woman said she wanted to mull over whether to press charges.
