Police said they extinguished a brown couch that was on fire in the front yard of the Sigma Phi Epsilon house on University Avenue. The fire was small enough for the officers to put out and the fire department was not notified, [Lt. Jim] Lemcke said. No one at the house was available for comment Monday.
“It happened shortly after the bars closed,” Lemcke said. “But I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.”

Public Safety received a report concerning suspicious activity in the University Village. The responding officer found two women, about 19 years old, swinging on the playground wearing nothing but panties.
“If we get this kind of call more often, it would really help our recruit of new officers,” Lemcke said. The women were encouraged to dress more conservatively, but will face no charges.
“It is, after all, not illegal to swing in just panties,” Lemcke said.

Officers investigating a reported theft were questioning a Knowles Hall resident, and realized the student had been drinking. He is younger than 21 and on probation, of which alcohol consumption is a violation. Officers called his probation officer. Recognizing he was going to be arrested, the student attempted to flee. Officers shot the fleeing student with a Taser, causing him to lose control of his bowels, [Chief Jim] Lemcke said. The man broke loose from the Taser, but complied with officers after that.
“The guy didn’t feel he could run with a full load, I guess,” Lemcke said.
The student is a member of a Facebook group called “I Laugh In The Face Of Missoula Public Safety,” which ridicules the UM Office of Public Safety.
