An officer was dispatched to Wyview Park on a report of a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot. The complainant reported they thought the sound came from the area of the Central Building. Several people were contacted inside the Central Building, and nobody there heard the reported sound. The area was given extra patrol.
Trespassing
Building Security reported that an individual was using a metal detector and digging up the lawn. A security officer had previously told the subject to stop. The subject was advised that they could not continue this activity on campus or they would be trespassed. The subject said they understood and left without incident.
Suspicious; Fire
Officers and Provo Fire responded to a report of a possible fire on the Y trail. An officer observed what appeared to be smoke in a horizontal cloud form. Some hikers coming off the mountain advised that an older World War 2 plane flew over and let out a cloud of smoke. The smoke had cleared by the time officers and Provo Fire arrived. Provo Fire observed the mountain and talked to numerous hikers and no fire was found.
DUI
An officer stopped a vehicle for a cracked windshield and found that the driver had a denied license. During the stop, the officer saw several signs of driver impairment. The driver consented to field sobriety tests which indicated that they were too impaired to drive. The officer arrested the driver for DUI and transported them to the Utah County Jail. The driver submitted to further tests and was found positive for methadone, THC, and benzodiazepines. The vehicle was impounded without incident. This case will be referred to the Provo City Attorney's Office for review of charges.
Trespassing
Officers responded to a report of three teenagers climbing onto the roof of the restrooms at the Y-Trailhead. The officers identified the three teenagers as two 19-year-olds and one 16-year-old. The teenagers stated that they climbed up to get a better view of the valley. No damage was found to the fence or roof of the restrooms. The officers warned the teenagers about trespassing and released them.
Runaway
An officer was advised of a hit on the LPR system for a vehicle connected to a missing juvenile out of Saratoga Springs. Officers checked the area as dispatch checked cameras and discovered the vehicle had gone north on Canyon Road off campus before officers arrived. The vehicle and juvenile were not located.
Suspicious
Officers responded to Helaman Halls with a five-minute delay on a report of a suspicious circumstance. A concerned person who wanted to remain anonymous reported hearing someone scream for help between the NCAA track and Taylor Hall. The complainant said they heard two voices, but nothing further. The officers checked the area and surrounding buildings but found no problems.
Found Property
An officer responded to the Smith Fieldhouse to take possession of a found driver's license and credit cards from a building care employee. The officer left messages for the owner using all the phone numbers listed for them. When the owner did not contact the officer by the end of the shift, the cards were taken to the Wilkinson Student Center Lost & Found.
Flood Alarm
Officers responded to a flood alarm in the LSB. They found that a water pipe had burst in a 4th-floor utility room and was flooding the elevator and utility room shafts, floors, and ceilings between floors one and four. An officer was able to shut off the flow of water to minimize the flooding. Dispatch contacted the LSB building coordinator and the on-call Facilities and Risk Management personnel, who responded and took over the cleanup and damage assessment.
Lost Property
An officer took a delayed report of lost credit and debit cards. The reporting person was unsure where they lost them and had spent time in multiple locations in and around Provo including the Museum of Peoples and Cultures.
Suspicious
BYU police were notified of a delayed suspicious report near Cougar Field. The complainant stated that a suspect riding a bike had been in the area photographing and videoing the FSY counselors. The complainant was educated regarding photography and videography laws in public. They were also told that BYU officers would be in the area for FSY next week and would conduct multiple extra patrols of the area.
