Police Beat

Sorry I’ve taken all week to post this but here are the crimes to watch out for on my campus. Don’t let them happen to you.

1. A man exposed himself to a student walking up Maeser Hill Oct. 31. The exhibitionist is described as college age, 5 foot 10, clean-shaven with short, dark hair wearing a green jacket and jeans.
2. An Apple laptop computer was left anonymously in the library with a note attached that read whoever found the laptop could keep it. The laptop was booked into evidence to find the owner and see if he or she wanted to give it away.
3. A student received a random phone call on his cell phone Oct. 24 from someone trying to sell him drugs using slang language. When he replied “What?” the person hung up the phone.
4. A BYU ID card was stolen from a female student’s locker between Oct. 26 and Oct. 28 in the Richard’s Building. There has been $14.85 of unauthorized charges.
6. A female traffic officer attempted to stop a vehicle entering the parking lot by the law school Oct. 27, but the driver sped up. When he was exiting the lot, she knocked on his window, but he ignored her and actually bumped into her with his car and sped off. An officer was able to stop the suspect later, and the case is under review for assault charges.
7. Two female students were issued citations for illegal possession of alcohol and tobacco in Deseret Towers U-Hall Oct. 27
8. An employee who leaves his office in the same way everyday in the Fletcher Building found that his blinds had been closed Oct. 26 He also discovered some gambling Internet sites he had never accessed in his computer history.

These crimes are put in here seriously to warn students so they don’t leave their backpack sitting on a table or leave their doors unlocked in the dorms. I don’t post the crimes about peoples computers and bikes being stolen but each week there a few of those and they’re not that funny. My favorite is the one about a guy getting offered drugs on his cell phone. If that happened to me I would probably just laugh and tell my friends about it. I guess if he reports it he can find the call log and the police can track the phone number but they couldn’t really bust the drug dealer for saying something on a phone.
