POLICE BEAT By Elliot P. Hopper DAILY WILDCAT
Liar, liar, pants on fire
A woman was walking next to the Music building when a man approached her to say he was selling magazines for points. The man identified himself as “Sean,” and said that the more magazines he sold, the more points he received to win a UA-sponsored scholarship. He picked out several magazines that he thought the woman might enjoy. The student expressed interest in the offer, and was asked to sign some paperwork, where she learned that her total price was $630. She said she didn’t realize that the magazines were so expensive, but the man replied, “You must pay this price because you already signed up for a membership.” The woman then went to two different Wells Fargo ATMs and withdrew the money. The man convinced her to throw in an extra $90 for a few more magazines. The woman then pulled out more money, totaling $720. The man said he would give her a phone number to call, which would allow her to cancel the subscriptions and receive a full refund. As soon as the man walked away, the woman called the number to cancel her subscriptions, but the individual on the other line had never heard of the magazine deal before. The woman said she would be able to complete a composite sketch of the man, saying he was a 6-foot-3, bulky, black man with acne scarring on his face. He was wearing a large-faced watch on his wrist and a long-sleeved red shirt. Wells Fargo reviewed video camera footage after the incident to possibly identify the man.
Caught red-handed
A student was traveling east on East Helen Street on his motorcycle at approximately 30 mph on Wednesday at 10:55 a.m. when he collided with a bicyclist making a left-hand turn from a parking lot. The student swerved and braked, causing him to be ejected from his motorcycle. University of Arizona Police Department officers said the motorcycle slid about 47 feet, scratching much of the motorcycle and the student himself. The bicyclist walked away with a small bruise on his thumb. The student fled the scene and parked his motorcycle several blocks down the street in a parking lot. When the student returned home, UAPD officers were waiting for him after the bicyclist was able to match the motorcycle and the rider’s description. The student was cited for failing to remain at the scene of an injury accident, failing to control speed and not having a motorcycle license.
Grab and go
A student went to UAPD on Wednesday and told officers that he had been pickpocketed. The student said he was walking to class at 11:05 a.m. and could feel his wallet in his pocket. While he was in class, he realized he could no longer feel his wallet. He searched the surrounding areas where the wallet may have fallen out, but could only remember someone running into him right before class. He said he did not remember the person running into him because he did not think it was a big deal. The wallet contained his driver’s license, a CatCard, a $50 bill and numerous gift cards. There are no suspects at this time.

“Mapping Arizona: From Mexican Territory to U.S. State” (exhibit) This is new exhibit on display in the UA Main Library from Jan. 6 – March 28, 2012, details the path Arizona took to become a state – first as part of the Territory of New Mexico, then as the Territory of Arizona, finally attaining statehood in 1912. In addition to an array of historical maps, “Mapping Arizona” also includes books and unique documents selected from Special Collections extensive holdings. These additional materials offer insight into the stories that accompany the lines, boundaries, and borders within the maps. UA Main Library, 1510 E. University Blvd. Ansel Adams: The View from Here Perhaps no photographer’s work has enjoyed such popularity as Ansel Adams’s awe-inspiring views of the natural world. His early trips to the Yosemite wilderness in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s informed the stylistic approach that made him famous. These treks included not only the physical activities of hiking, camping, and mountain climbing, but also social, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual elements. With forty photographs and supporting documents from the Ansel Adams Archive, Ansel Adams: The View from Here explores the relationship between Adams’s magical photographs of the American landscape - both its panoramic vistas and its intimate details - and how he came to understand the importance of his natural environment. Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm, Saturday &a Sunday, 1pm – 4pm through March 4th at The Center for Creative Photography: 1030 North Olive Road.

58th Annual Tucson Gem and Mineral Shows For two weeks every winter, the world meets in Tucson as it becomes a bustling, international marketplace of buyers and sellers at the Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase.

Dozens of shows take place at the same time - in giant white tents, at hotels and resorts and at exhibit halls. There’s something for everyone at the many open-tothe-public shows - from gold and diamonds to granite bookends and glass beads, and from fine specimens of dinosaur fossils to opals dug from the Australian Outback. View the following web page for specific dates, times, and locations of the Tucson gem and mineral shows:http:// tucsongemandmineralshows.net/2012-tucsongem-show.htm.
