ASU police reported the following incident Wednesday:
A 19-year-old Mesa man was arrested in Parking Structure 7 late Tuesday night and charged with trespassing. A private security officer patrolling the structure reportedly saw the man and five other people skateboarding. The security officer allegedly told the suspect he and the others were not allowed to skateboard in the parking structure.
"We're not skateboarding, we're longboarding," the suspect reportedly said.
The suspect later told an ASU police officer who responded to the scene that "he thought the fact that he was on a longboard was a 'loophole.'"
The suspect was reportedly unable to explain what made a longboard different from a skateboard and said he did not pass on the security officer's warning to the rest of the group.
The other five people were issued verbal warnings.
Tempe police reported the following incidents Wednesday:
