Suspicious BYU officers were assigned to investigate a suspicious person at Wyview Park looking into the windows of vehicles. The suspect was described as being of Asian descent wearing a grey shirt and talking with someone sitting in a vehicle with Michigan license plates. That vehicle has been registered on campus. Officers patrolled the area multiple times but were unable to locate the individual. The case was closed due to the inability to find the suspect.
Harassment An officer responded to the MTC regarding a phone harassment complaint. A female caller contacted the MTC over 52 times today between 4:48 PM and 6:00 PM, expressing concerns about how missionaries are trained and requesting to speak with someone in authority. The area code of the number from which the female was calling is from Florida. The MTC requested that an officer not contact the female at this time; they only wanted the incident documented.
Hit & Run An officer took a report of a hit-and-run accident in Lot 26. The incident occurred on Sunday morning between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. The complainant stated that he had parked in the lot, and when he returned from his church services, he noticed a small dent and scratches on the left rear panel behind the door. The officer reviewed the surveillance video and determined that the incident had not happened on the BYU campus, but most likely occurred in the parking lot of the complainant's apartment complex. The complainant will contact Provo PD.
Extortion A complainant contacted the BYU Police Department to report an extortion incident. An eighteen-year-old male had sent embarrassing pictures of himself on Instagram and is now being threatened with messages stating that if he doesn't send $100 through Venmo, the pictures will be shared with his friends. The complainant did not send the money and was advised by the officer not to do so. Additionally, the complainant was advised to file an online complaint with IC3. The officer will document the extortion and refer the case for further investigation.
Information An officer responded to the JRCB to address concerns about an individual representing themselves as a law student and participating in classes without proper admission. The complainant informed the individual that they needed to seek admission for the following year, and that if they were found back at the law school before being officially admitted, a request for a ban would be filed
