Police Beat • 10/21/2024

Lost Property
An officer was dispatched to speak with the complainant regarding a lost wallet from October 18, 2024, near LaVell Edwards Stadium. The complainant stated that he had last seen his wallet around the stadium on Friday. The wallet is a black, bi-fold design containing cash, an ID, and various cards, none of which have been used. The officer advised the complainant to check several lost and found locations and to report the cards as missing.

Accident
This report was compiled after all parties had cleared the scene. Vehicle 1 was stopped at the exit of Lot 5 on the BYU campus, waiting to turn. A pedestrian was riding a "one wheel" device south on 700 E. An unrelated vehicle entered the continuous left turn lane to head into Lot 5. The pedestrian swerved to the west, contacting the front driver's quarter panel of Vehicle 1, which sustained minor damage. The driver of Vehicle 1 reported that the pedestrian appeared somewhat dazed, but the pedestrian declined medical attention. The occupants of Vehicle 1 also reported no injuries. No vehicles were towed because of this incident. The officer has requested video surveillance of the incident, which will be attached to the case once it is received.

Lost Property
An officer responded by phone regarding a lost wallet that may have been lost either on campus or in Provo. The complainant had already taken measures for fraud prevention. The officer took the report and advised the complainant to contact Provo PD in case the wallet is turned in there.

Threatening
A complainant came to the station to report that he heard his friend being threatened by the father of the friend's ex-girlfriend. According to the complainant, Title IX is investigating the relationship between the former couple. When asked why the victim wasn't making the report himself, the complainant said that his friend didn't feel particularly threatened. The complainant also stated that his friend has already spoken with someone from Title IX about the threat.

Information
A complainant called to report a delayed incident of harassment. At approximately 12:40 a.m. on Sunday morning, a male appeared at the complainant's door in Heritage Halls 11. He was wearing a paper dog mask and was pounding on the door, barking, yelling, and making throat-slitting motions. Although the complainant was not home at the time, her roommates were present and believed the male might have been a former friend of the complainant. The officer was able to obtain footage showing the male and three others being let into the building by another female who was already inside. The complainant was shown a picture of the five individuals and recognized them as both current and former friends. It was determined that this was a prank and posed no actual threat. At this time, the incident will only be documented.

Welfare Check
A welfare check was conducted on a student whose father was unable to reach her after she walked from her car near Lot 45 to Helaman Halls. The student's father eventually got her to answer her phone, so dispatch canceled the call.
