Female student bothered by men in Union

While in the MUG area of the Union late Tuesday night, one University student found herself being harassed by two older men. Frightened, she called police and said the two men "were bothering her." Upon arriving on the scene, Department of Public Safety officers found that one of the two men had a two-count warrant for trespassing.

The man, a 37-year-old Ann Arbor resident, was described by police as a "continual problem." After this latest incidentTuesday, he was arrested.

The second man, a 36-year-old Ann Arbor resident, had no outstanding warrants and was released.

Homeless men found sleeping and roaming on campus

In separate incidents this week, two groups of homeless men were found sleeping on the heating grates outside the University Health Services building.

On Tuesday, DPS officers found a group of three men. DPS reports said, the men were "moved along." Wednesday, another group of three men was escorted from the scene by police.

It seems all six men got at least some sleep -- police did not find the trespassers until after 7:30 a.m. on either of the two days.

In related news, DPS officers were called out to Angell Hall on both Monday and Wednesday after receiving reports of homeless men wandering around the building.

Monday, they issued a trespassing ticket to a 55-year-old homeless man who was "roaming between auditoriums" and escorted him from the building.

Wednesday, a report that a man was again wandering through the auditoriums could not be substantiated as the man was gone when police checked the area. It is not known whether this was the same man who had been issued a ticket two days earlier.

Fight breaks out in Markley Underground

A shouting match turned violent Wednesday night when one Mary Markley resident pushed another in the residence hall's "Underground" snack bar.

After the incident, the victim contacted DPS officials to report the confrontation.

Officers arrived on the scene shortly thereafter and ran a warrant check on the assailant, an 18-year-old man who lives on the same floor as the victim. The warrant check came up negative and no further action was taken.

Computer equipment stolen from Modern Languages Building

About $3,000 worth of computer equipment was taken from the Language Resource Center on the second floor of the Modern Languages Building. The theft occurred sometime late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.

Staff "think that someone just walked in and carried it off," DPS officials said.

DPS reported no suspects in the investigation.
