Suspicious Circumstance The BYU Police Department was notified of a suspicious person who had entered the ASB and was asking questions about the tunnel system. Further investigation revealed that the same person had been at the Brewster building, also asking similar questions about the tunnels. Camera footage was found of the person, with a photo taken from it. At this time, a suspect has been identified, and efforts are being made to contact him about his intentions.
Found Property An officer responded to the Crab Tree building following a report of a prescription found in a classroom. The officer collected the prescription and contacted its owner, who came to the police department to retrieve the medication. The prescription was released to the individual after they verified their identity with a driver's license.
Civil Problem An officer was dispatched to a report of fraud, which was later determined to be a civil matter. The complainant, who works for Papa John's Pizza, made a delivery to the Wilkinson Student Center on January 14, 2025, and claimed that he had not been paid. However, the officer later contacted the complainant, who informed him that he had just been contacted by a representative from BYU, and that the matter had been resolved. The complainant requested to cancel the call.
Information An officer was asked to contact the complainant regarding an online harassment issue. The officer reached out to the complainant, requesting that they compile screenshots of the harassment and email them to the officer for review to determine if a crime has been committed. The complainant was also sent a witness statement to complete. Once the information is received, the officer will assess whether a crime has been committed and complete the report.
Fire Alarm A police officer responded to Heritage Building 13 due to a fire alarm. Upon arrival, the officer spoke with a tenant from the apartment where the alarm originated. The tenant was unsure of the cause of the alarm and reported seeing no flames or smoke. The officer then silenced the alarm. The fire technician will check and update the alarm panel.
Traffic offense – Road Rage Incident An officer was assigned by the Dispatch Center to call a complainant who was reportedly involved in a road rage incident while driving his Honda Civic eastbound on University Parkway. The complainant stated that he pulled over to let an SUV pass. After the SUV passed, the driver parked immediately in the roadway on University Parkway in front of the complainant’s vehicle. The complainant reported that the driver got out of his vehicle, approached the complainant's car, and yelled, "You got a problem?" before punching the driver's side window. The complainant noted that the window did not break. Officers will conduct additional follow-up.
