Police Beat • 05/31/2023
Welfare Check
According to an FSY counselor, two roommates of a juvenile attending FSY reported that the juvenile had used marijuana while on campus. The juvenile also reportedly threatened suicide, accused the roommates of stealing from them, and threatened to kill their roommates. The FSY counselor reached out to LDS Family Services about the situation who recommended that the counselor call the police.
Officers met with the juvenile, who denied the claims of marijuana use at FSY, threatening to harm themselves, and threatening to kill their roommates. They did, however, admit to previous marijuana use and to accusing their roommates of stealing. The officer recommended dividing parties for the night and tomorrow since the juvenile planned to leave FSY the next day and the officers and counselors agreed on this plan of action.
Animal Problem
An officer was dispatched to the trail on the hill between the West View Building and the Richards Building for an animal welfare check. Officers arrived and found a fawn lying on the path. The officer nudged the fawn, and it got up and ran to its mother. No further action was necessary.
Medical
A juvenile attending FSY fell on their wrist. Provo Medical responded and checked the patient's wrist, concluding it was not broken, but just sore.
Welfare Check
A parent who is no longer in contact with their former student requested a welfare check and information on their child whom they have not heard from for an extended period of time. The parent explained that their relationship was strained, and that the child had ceased contact over a year ago. An officer advised the parent that they could not provide information about their child due to the situation and recommended they explore alternative means to locate or contact them.
Theft
An officer was dispatched to the Wilkinson Student Center for the report of a juvenile seen shoplifting from The BYU bookstore. The officer arrived and spoke with the juvenile and representatives from the store. The juvenile admitted to stealing the item, but the store did not want to press charges for the theft. The officer contacted the parents of the juvenile to inform them of the situation.
Property Damage
An officer was dispatched to a report of property damage at the University Service Building (USB). A Dining Services vehicle had its rear driver’s side window broken out. The officer did not see any signs of foul play and no camera footage was available in the location of the vehicle. Earlier in the day, grounds employees were working in the area, and it is possible that rocks were tossed up by some of the equipment and hit the window. Dining Services was advised to submit an incident report to Risk Management.
Accident – Property Damage
A BYU PD officer took the report of a previous traffic accident. The driver said they were traveling north in Lot 39 when another vehicle pulled out of a parking stall and hit their vehicle.

The officer spoke with the other driver who gave a similar account, and a traffic accident form was completed including emailed statements from both drivers and photos of the damage. There was no available camera footage of the accident.
Medical
A patient was reported to be having a seizure at the Life Science Building. Provo Fire, BYU EMS, and BYU Police responded. The patient was treated and evaluated per Provo and BYU EMS policy. The patient was then transported to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center for further treatment.

Police Beat • 05/26-30/2023
Criminal Mischief
An officer responded to the Y-Trailhead for a criminal mischief call. An unknown subject opened the rear passenger door of a car at night where the complainant and their spouse had fallen asleep and then threw flour through the sunroof. The flour spread throughout the vehicle, making it difficult to breathe and alarming and disorienting the passengers, the substance getting into their eyes. Then, the suspect ran off into the bushes without further offense. The complainants also reported being followed down the mountain by another vehicle, so they drove to meet with Provo officers. Officers searched the trailhead area and checked cameras for a suspicious vehicle’s license plate but did not identify a plate as they were parked in a blind spot. A BYU Officer patrolled the area for suspicious activity and was unable to locate the suspect. Provo Fire assisted the victims and cleared the area.
Trespassing
An officer was dispatched to Heritage Halls Building 3 when two residents separately reported a man, possibly experiencing homelessness and mental health concerns, asking for their names and addresses. A description was given and although the officer did not initially locate the subject, within 30 minutes, an employee at the Heritage Central Building reported the same individual at their office asking employees for their full names and home addresses. When the officer arrived at the Central Building, he located the subject. The officer explained that at least two students had called concerning his behavior and that his questions were concerning to them. The man elaborated on various odd political and religious reasons why he was asking students for their emails and officers asked that he stop. An hour later, a resident of Wymount Terrace called to report an individual experiencing homelessness asking for her address and then following her to her apartment building. The complainant stated that the man caused her to feel unsafe and her description matched the earlier descriptions. Officers located the same subject near 2300 North Temple View Drive and informed Provo Police that a BYU Officer would speak with the subject since the case originated on campus. Officers instructed the subject again not to ask students for their names or addresses.
Traffic Offense
An officer was dispatched to Lot 22 for the report of a vehicle driving recklessly. Dispatch found the vehicle on camera doing a figure-eight in the parking lot and then leaving. The officer searched the area but was not able to find a vehicle matching the description given.
Lost Property
An officer was asked to investigate a lost cell phone near Maeser Hill. The complainant mistakenly left their phone on top of their car and drove away. They tried to find it but were unsuccessful. An officer gathered the information and made a report.
Suspicious
An officer was dispatched to the Central Heating and Cooling Plants Building when an employee reported someone experiencing homelessness sleeping near an open door under a large heating vent. When the Officer arrived, they located the subject and asked if they were feeling okay. They responded that they did not need anything. The Officer expressed concern about them accidentally being harmed by sleeping near machinery and vents and asked if they needed a ride to a shelter for the night. They declined and the offer encouraged them to not sleep on BYU campus since it is private property. The individual then left campus.
Welfare Check
A police officer was dispatched to the Y-Trailhead for a welfare check after BYU dispatch observed a vehicle parked overnight in the trailhead parking lot. The officer arrived and contacted the driver who said they were just about to leave.
Welfare Check
Officers were dispatched to check on a woman sleeping in a car parked near the Smith Field House. Officers found the woman alert and well. No further action was taken.
Theft, Bike
An officer was dispatched to the previous report of a stolen bike from the Heritage Halls Building 3 bike rack. Video footage of the suspect committing the theft was found, as well as the description of a car the suspect used. The License Plate Recognition System in that specific area failed and the suspect has not yet been identified.
Theft; Bike
