Welfare Check An officer responded to Helaman Halls to perform a welfare check on a student. A BYU faculty member called and reported that they had not seen the student in class and requested the welfare check. The officer went to the residence and spoke with the student's wife, who stated that he was sick last week but had returned to class today. I asked her to have her husband contact me. The officer later spoke with the student, who confirmed that he had been sick with the flu but had returned to classes.
Medical An officer responded to the Life Science building in reference to an unconscious person. Upon arrival, the individual was found to be conscious and breathing. EMS evaluated the patient, who then refused transport.
Fire – Gas Smell An officer responded to Building 4B in Wymount Terrace following a report of a gas smell. The officer, along with Provo Fire and BYU EMS, arrived and spoke with the tenants, who reported the odor of natural gas. Fire personnel also noted a slight odor of natural gas but found no readings on their OC equipment. Housing was contacted and asked to respond to investigate the situation further.
Medical An officer was dispatched to the Harold B. Lee Library to assist BYU EMS with a student who had fallen six hours earlier and injured her ankle.

BYU EMS provided her with a ride to her residence.
Agency Assist BYU Police and BYU EMS assisted Provo Fire and Provo PD at the scene of a vehicle vs. pedestrian accident that occurred in the east side crosswalk of the Cougar Blvd. and Canyon Road intersection. The pedestrian suffered minor injuries, and the Provo police officer on the scene issued the driver of the vehicle a citation.
Fraud The complainant received a phone call from a blocked number, during which the caller claimed she had a warrant out of Idaho and needed to pay a portion of it to avoid going to jail. She managed to send $2,000 through Apple Cash before realizing it was a scam. The only information available about the suspect is the phone number to which she sent the cash. This case will be referred to Investigations for further follow-up.
Information A police officer responded to a delayed property damage report involving two individuals working at the north university intramural field.

The reporting party requested that the officer refrain from contacting the other individual, as he preferred to handle the matter privately and amicably. This report is for informational purposes and will be updated based on the reporting party's wishes.
