Accident
This report was prepared 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 turned into the continuous left turn lane to access Lot 5.

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.
