Welfare check An officer responded to the Joseph Smith Building on a report that a sixteen-year-old attending FSY tried to hurt themselves the previous night. The juvenile told the officer and FSY staff that they reopened a cut on their inner thigh using a construction knife that they found on campus. The juvenile said they were not suicidal but do have a history of self-harm. The juvenile stated they no longer had the knife because they threw it away. The juvenile's parents were out of town, so an adult brother responded to take them home and be with them until their parents returned home. FSY staff agreed to watch over the juvenile until their adult brother arrived.
Information An officer was assigned by the BYU Dispatch Center to contact an FSY Counselor about a possible harassment situation in the courtyard at the Joseph F. Smith Building. The counselor stated an FSY attendee told them that they overheard other FSY participants state they would give a young man money to touch a female FSY attendee inappropriately. The counselor said when he approached the young man about what was overheard, the young man stated that he did not touch the female attendee, but claimed he told other boys he would so that they would stop pressuring him. The counselor said he spoke with the female FSY attendee and confirmed that the young man did not touch her. Suspicious Police officers were dispatched to a report of a suspicious individual carrying a sharpened stick in the area of lot 41. When officers arrived, they contacted a BYU representative who explained that the individual was their significant other visiting them. No suspicious or criminal activity was observed.
Traffic Accident An officer was dispatched to Lot 16 to meet with one of the parties involved in a delayed minor traffic accident. The officer found that information had already been exchanged at the time of the accident. The officer provided the complainant with the case number in case further assistance is needed.
Information The BYU Dispatch Center took an anonymous call alleging that a BYU student had raped an unknown individual in South Africa over a year ago. The caller would not give any personal information or a callback number, but Dispatch advised they had a callback number listed on the caller ID. An officer attempted to call the complainant back but found the call came from a private business. The caller could not be identified.
Traffic Accident A police officer responded to a reported hit and run.
