Drugs While patrolling the Y-trailhead parking lot, a police officer could smell the odor of marijuana. The officer contacted the occupants of the vehicle the odor was coming from. The occupants surrendered the drugs and paraphernalia to the officer. The passenger of the vehicle, who had the drugs and paraphernalia, was issued a misdemeanor citation instead of being arrested. The officer also had the driver complete standardized Field Sobriety Tests to determine whether they were safe to drive.
Citizen Contact An officer responded to the CAPS office to transport a student to Wasatch Behavioral Health so they could self-admit. When they arrived, the officer walked them into the building and released them to the Wasatch Behavioral staff.
Civil Problem A complainant called BYU Dispatch and reported that their Stake President wouldn’t let them come to church until they got back on their medication. The individual did not answer their phone, so the officer left them a message advising them that this was not a police issue and to address the subject with their church leaders.
Theft, Bike A student reported that their bike was stolen from a bike rack on BYU Campus. Since the bike had been registered, police were able to list the bike as stolen on a national police database.
Suspicious An officer contacted a complainant who reported that they were approached by an individual on Maeser Hill who made them feel uncomfortable. They shared the approximate time of the encounter which occurred the previous day. They could not remember what the suspect was wearing, but they provided a general description. The officer tried to review the surveillance footage from the camera where the incident took place but found that it was not pointed in the correct location. The officer gave the complainant the BYU Police Victim Advocate’s phone number and then searched the area of Maeser Hill but did not locate the suspect.
