Police Beat • 11/23/2024 - 11/24/2024

Medical
An officer responded to two medical incidents: one involving a person who twisted their ankle and another experiencing a heart attack. BYU EMS and the Provo Fire Department were called in to assist, with officers also providing support. One individual was transported to Utah Valley Hospital by paramedics, while the other was released after an initial assessment of her ankle.

Disorderly
While closing the trailhead parking lot gate, a BYU police officer was approached by a concerned citizen. The citizen reported that the occupants of a white truck had been throwing food items at other vehicles near the trailhead. Although the truck had already left the area, the citizen felt it was important to notify the officer about the behavior.

Abandoned Vehicle
An officer located an older model Jeep Cherokee in the north lot of West Campus. The vehicle appeared to have been abandoned, as it had no license plate and had received a parking ticket in September 2024 from BYU. The officer conducted information checks using the VIN number and found that it had not been reported stolen; it was last registered in the state of Nevada. The officer then attached an "Abandoned Vehicle" notice of towing to the windshield.

Sick Person
An officer responded to a report of a sick person. Upon arrival, Provo Fire was also on the scene. The individual had consumed a Pop-Tart and a bottle of juice and was beginning to feel better. According to the medics, it appeared that the issue was related to low blood sugar. Other individuals were present and agreed to stay with the person. The medics determined that transport was not necessary.
