Senior Kent Garrett knew something was wrong the second he saw the strange figure standing less than 100 feet away.
It was around 1:45 a.m. on Aug. 23 when Garrett, walking home from a party at the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity house along Polo Road, noticed a man wearing a baggy black V-neck shirt, green khaki shorts, white shoes and a backwards white hat peering into car windows and yanking the door handles.
“I knew for sure this guy wasn’t doing anything legal,” said Garrett. “It was at that moment I decided to call University Police.”
Garrett’s phone call led to more than just the capture of a would-be car robber.
