Sick Person A transient man knocked on the outer door of Tower Four at the Missionary Training Center, requesting medical assistance. An officer from BYU, along with Provo EMS, responded and checked on the individual’s welfare. The Provo Fire Department transported him to Utah Valley Hospital for further evaluation.
Citizen Contact A student went out to his parked car Sunday afternoon and found it had been hit by another vehicle. A note had been left on the windshield with a name and phone number. When the student called the number, it turned out to be unlisted. It had been snowing, which caused the note to be smudged, making it hard to read the numbers correctly. The officer was able to contact the person who left the note, who then gave permission to provide the student with the correct number.
Fire Alarm An officer responded to a fire alarm that was activated at Heritage #6 due to students cooking in the kitchen, causing excessive smoke and a strong smell. Upon arrival, the officer found the apartment occupants venting the apartment. Fortunately, the kitchen did not appear to have sustained any damage. The electric shop was then notified to assist with checking and resetting the alarm. A Resident Assistant was also on-scene to assist with the situation and provide support to the affected residents. She indicated she will file a report for housing.
Gas Smell An officer responded to Wymount Terrace, Building 4, in reference to a gas leak. Provo Fire assisted and determined that there was no active leak. Upon detecting an odor resembling Freon, the officer conducted a door-to-door check in the apartment building to ask residents if they had experienced any gas-related odors. A few residents reported that they had smelled gas. As a result, BYU Maintenance was contacted to inspect for leaks, and they confirmed that no active leaks were detected. Investigators then informed Risk Management of the situation and the results of the investigation.
Suspicious Officers responded to a suspicious call at Heritage 7, a student resident building, regarding two young males impersonating BYU maintenance workers. Officers contacted the two males, who both stated that they were trying to meet female students. No evidence of a crime was found, but the Resident Assistant (RA) supervisor requested that the males be trespassed from the building due to concerns about their behavior. The individuals were issued a formal trespass warning, and the case will be reviewed by investigators to determine if any further action is necessary.
