Updated July 29, 2024 - 7:45 pm

A man accused of fondling and robbing a woman on UNLV’s main campus Friday morning was arrested on Monday, according to university police.

UNLV police said Tyrone T. Williams, 27, approached the victim at Greenspun Hall around 5:50 a.m. on Friday and touched her inappropriately. Williams also struck her and stole her phone before fleeing east across South Maryland Parkway, according to police.

Williams was found back on UNLV’s main campus early Monday and was arrested, according to university police.

UNLV spokesman Francis McCabe said Williams was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and charged with robbery, lewdness, battery, resisting a public officer and trespassing not amounting to burglary.

McCabe said Williams was previously arrested on a charge of lewdness after an incident at the North Las Vegas campus of the College of Southern Nevada on July 8.
