Fire Alarm – Carbon Monoxide (CO) An officer was dispatched to an apartment in Wyview Park to investigate a CO alarm. Upon arrival, the residents stated they were not feeling ill. Provo Fire personnel measured for the presence of natural gas and discovered that a stovetop control knob was partially turned on. Provo Fire opened the doors and windows, allowing the natural gas to dissipate. The officer silenced the alarm and reset it.
Accident An officer responded to South Campus Drive to investigate an accident involving a BYU vehicle that was backing out of a parallel parking spot and collided with a parked car directly behind it.

Agency Assist Detectives from a city in Idaho requested assistance in locating a student and facilitating an interview with the student at our police station. Investigators located the student, and conducted an interview at our police station. The student was then released.
Suspicious Person Officers responded to a report of a suspicious individual who was intimidating the complainant and possibly harassing other students, as well as possibly being under the influence of drugs. The suspect was described as a male in his 40s with gray hair and a scary expression on his face, holding a cigarette. Although he was not located in this case, he was later reported in another incident where he was identified on campus.
Suspicious Person Officers responded to three separate complaints about a suspicious male. The first complaint originated from the Benson Building, where the male was making students feel uneasy. The second complaint came from the Eyring Science Building, where he was observed going through a complainant's backpack. The third and final complaint was from the Clyde Building, where the male was reported to be taping a window and smoking. Officers were able to contact him in the Clyde Building. The male claimed to have several disabilities, including ADHD, which he said caused him to look at a paper and the calculator in the backpack. The complainant who owned the backpack did not wish to pursue charges, so the male was instructed to leave campus and to return only if he had legitimate business at the college.
