Police Beat • 12/12/2023

Disturbance
Officers responded to a complaint at the Harold B. Lee Library involving several students being loud and bringing food into the library. Officers first met with the security staff who had not already verbally asked the students to abstain from their behaviors. When officers arrived, the students were much more receptive to their requests. The security officer then approached multiple different tables of students with the same request.

Medical
An individual was riding their electric scooter south of the WSC and crashed, injuring their wrist. BYU EMS put a brace on their wrist and the patient was going to have a friend give them a ride to InstaCare.

Found Property
A complainant dropped off a car key that was found at the entrance to the police department. The officer took the key to the lost and found drop box in the WSC. Later, the officer was approached by an individual requesting a motorist assist, believing their key was locked inside. When the individual could not find their key in her car, the officer showed them a picture of the key dropped off at the lost and found, and it was their lost key. The officer was able to retrieve the key and return it to the owner.

Civil Problem
An officer was dispatched to call a complainant about a civil issue due to a delayed traffic accident. The complainant stated that they had the other person's information but were concerned about getting blocked once they told the other person the quote to fix the vehicle. The officer advised the complainant to get insurance information from the other person in case they did not want to pay for it out of pocket and let the officer know if they refused. The complainant agreed and stated they would reach out if there were any further issues. 

Sex Offense
An officer was dispatched to speak with a complainant about a delayed sex offense. The officer met with the complainant, who provided a written and verbal statement of what occurred over a several-day period. The complainant had already been in contact with BYU's victim advocate. The complainant stated that they wanted time to figure out whether they wanted to press charges and said they would let the officer know.

Medical
An officer was dispatched to the Harmon Building for a report that an individual had passed out. Provo Medics were also dispatched and arrived at the location with the officer. Provo Medics evaluated the patient and decided to transport them to Utah Valley Hospital.

Information
An officer was dispatched to call a complainant about a possible delayed threatening "X" post (formerly called Twitter). The complainant was made aware of an X post made by a former colleague. The two had a falling out and the complainant wanted to report the threatening post for documentation purposes.
