Police report a series of crimes during, after Undie Run


An alleged rape, burglary and robbery in the North Village were reported to police Thursday morning after the quarterly Undie Run. Several other crimes were also reported in Westwood during and after the event.

The Los Angeles Police Department reported an alleged rape on Glenrock Avenue, between Ophir Drive and Levering Avenue, just after midnight Thursday morning.

University police officials were unavailable for immediate comment. An LAPD spokesman said no additional information was available about the alleged rape.

The Undie Run, a quarterly tradition, attracted more than 10,000 people to Westwood Wednesday night, university police said. Another 3,000 to 4,000 people joined later.

At about 1:15 a.m. Thursday, two UCLA students were walking back to their apartment at 433 Midvale Ave. when they saw their door was open, according to a UCPD report.

The students walked into their apartment and saw a man trying to take one of their laptops, police said. The man allegedly ran out of the apartment after one of the students confronted him.

Officers saw a suspicious car and performed a traffic stop, detaining an 18-year-old man and a male juvenile. The man, Paul Lawrence Fuller, was arrested for strong arm robbery just before 4 a.m. Thursday and was booked two hours later at the Inmate Reception Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Fuller, who is not affiliated with UCLA, was released on bond about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. He will appear June 30 at the Los Angeles Superior Court Airport Courthouse, a court spokeswoman said.

Later, a burglary was reported on Glenrock Avenue. Police said an unknown person entered a UCLA student’s apartment between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. Thursday and stole a laptop and cell phone while the residents were sleeping.

The burglary was reported on the same block of Glenrock Avenue as the alleged rape. It is unclear whether the two cases are related.

Two UCLA students also reported grand thefts on campus just after midnight Thursday at Powell Library and the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, according to UCPD logs.

A robbery was also reported about 3:10 a.m. Thursday at the corner of Broxton Avenue and Le Conte Avenue. No additional information was immediately available about the robbery.

Emergency services also handled two medical calls for alcohol intoxication Thursday morning, and UCPD arrested another two students for public intoxication.

UCPD increased its presence at the Undie Run spring quarter and brought in additional university police officers from UC San Diego, UC Irvine, UC Riverside and UC San Francisco because it anticipated greater participation after high attendance at the event in winter quarter.
