UT student wakes, finds intruder in bed

KXAN (AUSTIN) -

A University of Texas student says she woke up to find an intruder in her bed early Sunday morning at the Moore-Hill dormitory.

University of Texas Police are now looking for an Asian male with short black hair who was wearing a white t-shirt and black basketball shorts at the time of the incident.

According to UTPD, the girl woke up around 3 a.m. on Sunday morning to find the man in her room. He attempted to pull the bed covers over her and lay on top her, but she resisted and he left the room when the girl screamed for help.

Students who signed up for campus alerts received the notification to be on the lookout for anyone suspicious and make sure they are locking doors behind them.

“The dorm was renovated not too long ago,” said Sgt. Charles Bonnet with UTPD. “But if someone is allowing people to piggy back or follow them in then those security measures are all for not.”

The Moore-Hill dorm requires residents to swipe a security card to enter the building and they also have keys to their individual dorm rooms.

After hours when doors are locked, residents are required to be checked in by a security guard at the front desk.
