Travis Maxey, a 40-year-old Virginia resident, was arrested as a suspect of grand larceny that occurred around 11:49 a.m. in 11th Street Garage near the University Hospital, per a release from the University Police Department. UPD obtained a warrant after the suspect stole a purse from a car and fled the area.
UPD canvassed the area shortly after being notified of the event and later identified Maxey using security footage from the garage.
Charges of grand larceny are incurred when the value of the stolen goods surpasses $1,000, and a conviction in Virginia may carry up to 20 years of imprisonment.
Students, faculty and staff received a general communication about the investigation at 6:50 p.m. from Timothy Longo, chief of the University Police Department and vice president for security and safety.
Since January, the University has received 12 community alerts — alerts sent to University community members containing information about a threat that can be released to the community without compromising any ongoing investigations. Incidents included a shooting near Red Roof Inn, a disorder with a weapon at Runk Dining Hall and a fatal shooting on Grove Street.
U.Va. Alerts automatically notify all members of the University community with a valid University email address when there is an imminent threat. Students, faculty and staff can also add their mobile phone numbers to their account to receive texts.
