Accident – Property Damage
An officer responded to Lot 49 on BYU campus regarding a traffic accident. A school bus driver was making a left-hand turn in the parking lot and struck another vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle attempted to turn to the right to avoid the accident but was still hit. The accident was captured by a surveillance camera. Written statements were made by both drivers and pictures of the damage were taken. The officer completed the DI 9 traffic accident form.

Citizen Contact
Officers were dispatched to an assist at Wyview where a child locked themselves in a bathroom. The complainant met the officers at the front door and let them enter. An officer was able to open the bathroom door without forcing entry. Call notes stated that the child may have gotten access to bathroom cleaning chemicals. The child was checked by the complainant to verify that they did not consume any chemicals.

Welfare Check
An officer was dispatched to the area of 900 E and the MTC on the report of a young child riding a bike into traffic. The officer located the child on 900 E, north of the MTC. The child refused contact with the officer and rode away. The officer followed the child until a parent, who had been out looking for the child, arrived, and took custody of them.

Trespassing
An officer was dispatched to the Engineering Building for a report of a male sleeping in the mother's room of the building. Officers arrived and spoke to the male who reported that he had been sleeping in the room for the past two nights. The officers explained to the male that he could not be in the building after it closed and that he could not disrupt the normal activities of the campus. The male apologized and officers transported them to the Food and Care Coalition. The male was warned that if he was caught in a building after closing, he would be cited for trespassing.
