According to UK Police reports from September through November, UK hospital and the W.T. Young Library see the most crime activity on campus.

Areas with heavily-concentrated crime activity include UK Hospital on Rose Street, Commonwealth Stadium on University Drive and the W.T. Young Library on Hilltop Avenue. Most of these crimes are theft, suspicious activity and intoxication violations.

The area of the hospital on South Limestone also sees a high amount of crime, according to the crime reports.

Despite repeated offenses in specific areas, patrolling them is business as usual.

Interim Police Chief Maj. Joe Monroe said in the highly-concentrated areas of crime, patrols are random and unchanged.

“Police and security officers both conduct random patrols,” Monroe said.

The majority of the reports are for theft, Monroe said.

At 330 Hilltop Ave., in front of Haggin Hall, five marijuana-related offenses were reported in October alone.

Also on Hilltop, in front of the W.T. Young Library, the crimes most often repeated include suspicious activity, theft and criminal mischief.

Devin Horton, security guard for the W.T. Young Library for about a year, said the crimes he sees the most are thefts of laptop computers, which he said he sees about every two weeks.

Security guards do routine patrols around the library’s premises, Horton said, and he tries to patrol about every hour.

Other crimes reported most often include marijuana-related crimes and animal mischief.

Horton said he has never seen anyone using marijuana, but said he has heard of animal behavior, or “student pranks.”

“I had someone take two mice, put them in Dixie cups with parachutes and drop them all the way from the fifth floor,” Horton said.
