Police Beat • 07/11/2025
Medical
An officer responded to 100 BNSN following a report of a 10-year-old camper who had been stung on the finger by a bee and was suspected of experiencing an allergic reaction. BYU EMS arrived on scene prior to the officer and provided medical attention to the child.
Citizen Contact
BYU Police responded to a delayed theft report at the ESC construction site. The reporting party had left a refrigerator outside to thaw, but upon returning, discovered it was missing. Reviews of security footage revealed two construction workers taking the fridge and placing it in their truck. The officers contacted the workers, who believed the fridge was free to take. They apologized and returned the item without incident.
Accident
An officer responded to Lot 4 following a report of a traffic incident involving a BYU vehicle that backed into a parked vehicle in a designated stall. Minor damage and no injuries reported.
Traffic Offense
On July 4th, during the annual Freedom Run, a delayed traffic offense occurred at the north entrance of Helaman Halls. Two vehicles bypassed traffic barricades designed to restrict access to Canyon Road, despite efforts by a Traffic student to prevent their passage. The situation escalated when the student attempting to enforce the barricades was subjected to verbal abuse. This case is being reviewed by investigators.
Accident
An officer responded to a traffic incident in Lot 26 after a complainant reported minor damage to their parked vehicle. The owner of the vehicle found a note on their window indicating that another driver had backed into their car. The officer contacted both parties involved and completed a non-reportable accident report.
Injured Animal
A BYU Police officer responded to multiple reports of a distressed deer with an apparent head injury, supported by photos from concerned callers. Recognizing the same deer repeatedly reported over several weeks, the officer located the animal on the west side of the West View Building. The deer was lying down and unusually approachable. Upon inspection, the officer observed severe injuries: missing an eye, broken and hanging antlers, and numerous lesions exposing the cranial cavity filled with maggots and parasites. The deer was clearly suffering, and with approval from the patrol sergeant and the Division of Wildlife Resources, the officer euthanized the animal to end its pain.
Medical
Provo Fire, BYU Police, and MTC Security responded to a report of a female missionary who was found unconscious. The missionary was with other missionaries at the time she lost consciousness and was helped to the ground, avoiding a fall or head injury. Witnesses reported that she had undergone a dental procedure earlier that day, during which she received five shots of anesthesia. At the scene, she was awake but appeared to be partially unaware of her surroundings. After the police cleared the scene, Provo Fire personnel prepared to transport her to Utah Valley Hospital for further evaluation and care.

Disturbance
An officer was dispatched to BYU West Campus in response to a report of a possible disturbance. In preparation for the July 4th Provo Parade, several individuals were camping overnight on the campus lawn to reserve spots. Upon arrival, the complainant informed the officer that someone had been yelling and identified a specific individual as the source of the disturbance. The officer contacted the identified individual and conducted a routine records check through the state database. It was determined that the individual had an active warrant out of West Jordan City in the amount of $3,500. The Utah County Dispatch Center was contacted to coordinate with the Utah County Jail, which ultimately declined to take the individual into custody. The officer informed the individual of the outstanding warrant. During the interaction, the individual claimed his brother had yelled at him, but that he did not respond or engage in any disruptive behavior.
Lost Property

Police Beat • 06/27/2025
Found Property
An officer filed a found property report after a backpack was discovered under the FSY tent near the Wilkinson Student Center. The bag, containing several notebooks including an FSY book, suggested it belonged to an FSY participant. The officer placed the backpack in the Lost and Found at the Wilkinson Center.
Traffic Offense
A police officer witnessed a vehicle run a red light at the intersection of 900 N 900 E. The driver admitted to both running the light and texting while driving. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that the adult driver only had a learner's permit and lacked a licensed adult passenger in the vehicle. The driver was cited for running the red light, using a mobile device while driving, and violating the terms of the learner's permit.
Citizen Contact
A police officer responded to a report of a missing juvenile from FSY, initially called in by counselors. Dispatch informed the officer that an FSY representative had contacted the juvenile's mother, who confirmed she had picked up her son early and had texted the FSY office about checking him out. The FSY representative clarified that this was not the standard check-out procedure, and the missing person report was due to miscommunication. Since the juvenile was with his mother and in no danger, the officer cleared the call without taking further action.
Unconscious
An officer was dispatched to the Marriott Center to assist Provo Fire with a teenage female who had fainted. Upon arrival, the girl explained that she had collapsed while sitting outside the building and attributed it to not eating or drinking that day. She also mentioned fainting the previous week under similar circumstances. The people on scene contacted the girl's mother, who was informed of the situation. Elizabeth's mother confirmed that she did not want her daughter to go to the hospital but would ensure a follow-up with their primary care physician.
Medical
An officer responded to a medical assist call at the JFSB courtyard, where a 17-year-old female had passed out. When medics arrived, she was conscious and breathing, with stable vitals. Her parents were notified, and she remained in the care of FSY staff. No further action was required.
