On Wednesday, February 6, 2008 at approximately 2:30 a.m. UCPD responded to a report of a strong arm robbery which had taken place a short time earlier in People’s Park. The victim, a White 36 year old nonaffiliated female, was sitting in the park when a man came up behind her and started choking her with a sheet.

UCPD and BPD searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect. The victim was not injured during the encounter.
The suspect is described as:
A Black male, 5’9” in height, 180 lbs., wearing a red bandana, a light blue sweater and tan pants. |
