Information An officer was dispatched to the Wilkinson Student Center (WSC) to check on a man sitting outside. Upon arrival, the officer identified the man by his passport. The man refused offers of shelter or a hotel, and the officer informed him that overnight stays were prohibited outside university buildings. Despite being told he could not stay there, the man insisted on remaining outside the WSC due to an appointment the following morning. After consulting a sergeant, the officer allowed the man to remain seated on a bench on the east side of the WSC.
Skateboarding An officer responded to a delayed report of juveniles skateboarding in the West Campus Building. An online report stated that the complainant observed three juveniles skateboarding in the main hallway. The juveniles left the building after the complainant photographed them. BYU dispatch reviewed security footage and obtained images of the juveniles. The complainant believes they saw the same three juveniles skateboarding in the building a month prior.
Traffic Offense An officer was dispatched to Heritage Halls Building 14 to search for a tan-colored Toyota Camry that was reportedly driving on the sidewalk near the building. Upon arrival, the officer patrolled the area between and around the buildings but did not locate the reported vehicle. No damage or injuries were reported or discovered. The Dispatch Center is currently reviewing surveillance camera footage to try to identify the vehicle.
Gas Smell The complainant reported smelling gas in their apartment. BYU medical personnel arrived as a standby unit, while the Provo Fire Department responded to the call. The fire department checked the residence for carbon monoxide, and their readings indicated that the levels were safe and within normal limits. Housing staff were notified to follow up on the report.
Fire Alarm An officer responded to a fire alarm at Wyview Park, building 22. Dispatch advised that the residents reported the alarm was triggered by burnt food and there was no fire. The officer silenced the alarm and cleared the scene without incident.
Unsecure Door Provo Police requested that BYU officers check the West Campus area for a suspect who had assaulted a probation officer and fled the scene. While checking the building, officers found a door on the west side, in an open courtyard, propped open with a brick. This door, marked C-4, led into a room that appeared to have previously housed kilns. Inside this room, another door, also propped open with a brick, led into a classroom in the main building. The classroom door, which provided access to the main hallway, was held open with a garbage can. Officers checked the interior of the building and found only an employee with his family. Shortly after securing the building, Provo PD located and apprehended the suspect at a different location.
