Citizen Contact Officers visited with approximately 200 students who had gathered in Budge Hall to participate in a "Dare Night," event that a student had organized. The event required students conduct a series of "dares," in 2 hours for points. The team with the most points would win. It was reported that some of the items on the dare list could be criminal. Officers met with the students to educate them and prevent any criminal behavior. The group was receptive, and the organizer agreed to remove items that could be associated with criminal behavior from the list of tasks.
Suspicious A caller reported hearing what sounded like a woman screaming near the Heritage Halls residences. Officers responded to the area and conducted a foot patrol, where they observed many people engaged in various activities. Nothing of a dangerous or suspicious nature was noted, and no criminal activity was detected. As a result, no further police action was taken.
Attempt to Locate/Stolen License Plate An officer was notified of an attempt to locate a stolen license plate at the LPR near the Creamery on Ninth Street. Dispatch monitored the cameras and observed a blue SUV with the stolen plate leaving campus, heading south on 900 East. The officer patrolled the area and checked several parking lots but was unable to locate the vehicle. Shortly thereafter, dispatch informed the officer that they believed the LPR had possibly misread the plate. They explained that the vehicle observed did, in fact, have a plate that belonged to the vehicle. This case can be closed as an error made by the LPR system.
Theft A student working as a referee during an intramural football game at North University Field reported that his debit card and driver’s license were stolen from his wallet, which had been left unattended on the sideline. The student mentioned that there were two fraudulent charges on his debit card: one at Walmart in Saratoga Springs and another for $30.00 at Maverick in Draper. He called his financial institution to report his debit card as stolen.
The Dispatch Center is currently reviewing recordings from the BYU surveillance camera system that may help identify the suspect(s) involved. Further contact and follow-up with Walmart in Saratoga Springs and Maverick in Draper are needed to obtain video surveillance of the suspect(s).
