Drugs
A student discovered an empty marijuana container in a classroom and reported it to the professor. The teaching assistant then took the container to the police department for further investigation. The container, a black glass vial labeled "Raw Garden," was identified as containing a cannabis joint and emitted a marijuana odor, though it was empty. It was then photographed for records and properly disposed of.
Theft
A delayed report was filed regarding several tools and property missing from a work area at the MTC last week. An officer contacted the complainant by phone, who described the missing items and provided an approximate timeframe of the incident. The officer documented the report and is currently awaiting further details from an MTC employee. The case remains under investigation.
Accident
A call was received by the BYU Police Department reporting a vehicle accident in parking lot 45. The complainant stated she parked her vehicle for several hours and discovered damage upon returning. Upon investigation, officers determined that the damage was non-reportable and the cause remains unknown. Camera footage is being reviewed for potential evidence.
Welfare Check
A BYU Police officer was dispatched to perform a welfare check on a female individual, who was reportedly possibly homeless and in need of assistance. Upon arrival, officers located the female inside a building, where she was seeking legal help. She was in the process of speaking with a professor and preparing to leave when the officers made contact. After gathering her personal belongings, she exited the building without incident.
Theft
A report was made regarding a stolen bag from the WSC. The caller stated that they left their bag on some couches outside the Den in the basement of the WSC. When they returned shortly afterward, the bag and its belongings were missing. The lost and found has been checked, and surveillance footage is currently under review. The case is actively under investigation.
CO Alarm
A carbon monoxide alarm was triggered in an apartment, prompting the residents to evacuate. Fortunately, no one reported feeling ill. Provo Fire responded to the scene and determined that the residents had been cooking and accidentally left the stove on, which caused gas to be emitted into the apartment. Gas readings peaked at 30. The fire department ventilated the apartment to clear any remaining gas and later allowed the residents to re-enter the residence.

The complainant requested medical assistance after waking up to a dislocated shoulder. The complainant has experienced this a few other times and is scheduled for surgery next month. Provo Medics wrapped the shoulder and the complainant was given a ride to the hospital for treatment.
Information
A concerning incident was reported near Heritage Halls Building 11, where students discovered finger "painting" on the sidewalk. Someone used their fingers and an unknown substance to write an offensive word. The writing was somewhat vague and not immediately obvious, and it is believed to have been done sometime after the evening of March 20th, though this cannot be confirmed. The substance proved difficult to wash off with water, but building staff have arranged to clean the area with soap and brushes. No surveillance cameras cover that portion of the sidewalk.
Sick Person
A female adult student reported experiencing dizziness and tingling in her extremities. BYU EMS and BYU Police responded promptly, providing aid and comfort. After evaluation, BYU EMS released her, and she was advised to return to her apartment.
Robbery Alarm

Fire – CO Alarm
A BYU officer and Provo Fire responded to a CO alarm at Wymount building 6. Firefighters tested the residence and found no carbon monoxide present.

The residents were informed that the building already had a functioning CO alarm, and the alarm in question had been placed there by a former resident. The faulty alarm was removed, and the situation was resolved.

Property Damage
A police officer responded to a property damage incident on 460 East, between Miller Park and the Marriott Center. The complainant reported that while waiting to turn into the Marriott Center parking lot, the rear passenger window of her vehicle suddenly shattered. She described the sound as very loud and initially suspected gunfire. Upon investigation, the area was checked and found to contain shattered glass and a baseball in the roadway. License plate reader (LPR) footage revealed the incident, showing a baseball from Miller Park striking the vehicle and causing the window to break. The university's Risk Management office was notified, and both the complainant and vehicle owner were provided with information to file an insurance claim.
