Criminal Mischief Officers responded to the Y-trailhead after the gate was closed to several minors who were in the process of making dry ice bombs. The minors were educated about the hazards associated with dry ice bombs and instructed to clean up the dry ice from the parking lot. They left the area without incident, and there was no property damage caused by the dry ice bomb.
Traffic Offense An officer was contacted in the parking lot at the JKB by a student who had removed a parking boot from his vehicle. The student had removed the self-release boot by paying online and receiving a code to unlock it. The student's name and information were recorded in the involvement log. There weren't any parking service officers on duty, so the boot was taken and left in the parking office.
Unconscious An officer responded to the report of an unconscious female student in the cadaver lab of the Life Science Building. Upon arrival, BYU EMS and Provo Fire found that the student remained unconscious. After Provo Fire assisted her in regaining consciousness, she disclosed that she had a history of fainting and struggled with insomnia. She explained that she was trying a new medication to help her sleep. While she waited for her ride home, the officer and BYU EMS remained on the scene until her transportation arrived. The AED was retrieved from the station on the second floor near the elevators but was not used; thus, the officer returned it to the alarmed box. Dispatch contacted risk management, which stated that they would service the AED the following day.
Suspicious An officer contacted a student at the police department who wished to report a suspicious text message received recently. The messages indicated that the unknown texter knew the student's location. The officer advised the student about the nature of scam texts and emails, recommending that the student block the caller and delete the messages after they were documented. The student was also advised to report the incident to the local police and to FTC.gov.
