Subject: Robbery
The University of Tennessee Police Department is investigating a robbery that
occurred at 8:58 p.m. tonight on the F level of the G6 (Phillip Fulmer Way)
parking garage.
A female victim advised that she obtained money from an ATM at the 'money
wall' and then walked to her vehicle in the G6 garage. While in the garage, an
unknown male suspect shoved the victim to the ground while stealing money
from her hand. The suspect fled the area on foot west bound. The victim
suffered minor injuries and is a UT student.
The victim described the subject as a black male, 6-foot-0, muscular build,
and in his late 20s. The victim said the subject was wearing a gray hooded
sweatshirt and black shorts.
Federal law requires the university to notify the campus community of criminal
activity, specifically crimes against persons, on or near campus. This and
other e-mail notifications are intended to raise awareness about such criminal
activity in areas frequented by students, faculty, and staff.
Anyone with information concerning this incident should contact the Knoxville
Police Department at 215-7450.
UT Police urge students, faculty, and staff to avoid walking alone at night and
to contact them any time they need assistance or notice anything suspicious.
Do not open doors or unlock doors for strangers. More than 100 blue light
phones are located around campus. The "T" bus system offers several routes
at night on campus and in Fort Sanders. For more information, go to
