Theft A BYU campus officer returned a call to a complainant reporting the theft of his blue Trek bicycle, which was locked at the Merrill Hall bike rack. The complainant last saw the bike in January or February and only noticed it was missing while moving out. Due to limited description and the broad time frame, identifying a suspect through surveillance footage remains challenging. The officer will continue reviewing camera footage and will update the case if any relevant evidence is found.
Accident A police officer responded to Lot 7 for a minor crash involving a BYU work truck that sideswiped a parked vehicle while pulling into a parking stall.
Accident A vehicle traveling southbound in an aisle at parking lot #45 on 1700 North Canyon Road, Provo, was struck on the passenger side by a second vehicle traveling eastbound in the same lot. The accident occurred in a private parking lot, resulting in one vehicle being towed. There were no injuries reported.
Medical BYU Police responded to a medical call near the Marriott Center after an elderly woman fell from her walker and hit her head on the sidewalk. Provo EMS evaluated her on scene and released her. BYU Risk Management was notified to repair the crack in the sidewalk.
Citizen Contact A police officer responded to a report of a possible hit-and-run. The officer reviewed surveillance footage from the relevant time and location provided by the reporting party but found no evidence of contact with the vehicle. The reporting party stated they had parked elsewhere on campus at the time. The video will be further examined to determine if the impact occurred at a different location.
Suspicious Package A police officer was dispatched to investigate a suspicious bag left unattended in a building, which had been there for about 30 minutes with no one around. While en route, the reporting party called back to update that an individual had approached the bag and retrieved a battery charger, and that police response was no longer necessary.
Suspicious Person Police officers responded to a third-party report of a person staying overnight in the Kimball Tower on the 11th floor. Upon inspection, the building was found to be unoccupied. Security footage indicated that the possible individual had left the building before the officers arrived.
Sick Person Officers responded to a report of a sick person in Helaman Halls Building 9. Prior to their arrival, Provo Fire evaluated the individual, who declined transport or further medical attention at that time.
Drugs During patrols at the Y Trailhead parking lot, officers asked vehicles to leave as the lots were closing. When an officer approached a red pickup truck, the occupant opened the driver's door, revealing a strong odor of marijuana. Inside the vehicle, officers discovered a marijuana vape belonging to a passenger and a nicotine vape owned by the underage driver. Additionally, a two-year-old child was found in the back seat without a car seat. The driver was cited for minor possession of nicotine and failing to restrain her child, while the passenger was cited for marijuana possession. Officers waited with the individuals until family arrived with a proper child restraint. The case will be forwarded to the Provo City Attorney's Office for review of charges.
