Burglary

A subject broke the glass door to the rear of the student's athletic building while only wearing underwear. While inside, the subject stole and ate some food, and at one point took off their underwear so they were completely naked. The subject was contacted inside the building and claimed they did not remember how they got there but admitted they had broken the glass door and taken the food. The subject was taken into custody and booked at Utah County Jail for Burglary, criminal mischief, theft, and lewdness.

Found Person

A 4-year-old child was found crying just outside the library without parental supervision. The child was contacted, and officers helped them calm down while other officers looked for their parents. One of their parents was found with a large family group and was unaware their 4-year-old had left. The two were reunited without incident.

Found Property

A backpack containing beer, marijuana, paraphernalia, and prescription medications was found at the Y-Trailhead. The officer was not able to make contact with the owner. The beer was destroyed, the drugs and paraphernalia were booked in as evidence (to be destroyed,) and the backpack was booked in to hold for the owner.

Information

BYU Police were notified of a possible missing juvenile after FSY. The juvenile was found almost immediately after the police were notified. They were located sitting in front of the Creamery on Ninth. No further action was taken.

Disorderly

An officer was advised of vehicle occupants who were throwing objects into an FSY dance. The officer was provided a plate number and learned that the vehicle was registered right off of campus. The officer responded to the address listed and spoke with two parents who advised that their child and his friends had the vehicle. The officer asked one of the parents to call their child and his friends and have them come home so the officer could address the issue. The officer spoke with the juveniles and explained the possible consequences of their actions. The officer spoke with the parents of the involved juveniles. The officer advised that the situation would be documented, and no charges would be filed at that time.

Assault

Police officers responded to Heritage Halls Building 16 for a report of two juvenile siblings who had been fighting. The officers spoke with the parent of the juveniles who gave the officer permission to speak to them. The officers gathered the details of the incident. After consulting with the on-call detective, who also spoke with the county attorney's office, it was determined this was a family problem and juvenile court would not file charges. The officers left the children in the care of the FSY counselors until their parent could pick them up.
