Police Beat

I sat down to eat my chicken bowl with veggies from Teriyaki Stix and I picked up the Daily Universe and read these gems:
  • Sept 11: BYU police received a phone call complaining of a band playing music too loudly at 10:30 p.m. in the Foreign Language Housing. The police arrived and the band was quiet.
  • Sept 12: A custodian reported screaming near the MCKB at 4 a.m. The screams were later discovered to have come from a female student sprayed by a sidewalk sprinkler.
  • Sept 13: Police responded to a call reporting suspicious characters at the OIT construction site on the south end of campus. Upon arrival, the suspect were discovered to be construction workers.
  • Sept 14: Concerned resident reported a suspicious male student in Helaman Halls at 1:30 a.m. The student was knocking on ground level windows of John Hall and then holding a cardboard mask up to the windows. When the police had arrived, the suspect fled.

Tell me you don't miss reading those. Very high on the unintentional comedy scale.

I can't lie -- I really miss those. If only the world had the same kind of crime problems as the Y.

you guys just remember reading them, i remember freshman year doing this trying to BE in them - oh, what proud days those were to read about yourself knowing that you were the suspicious character that fled the scene! HA! I think BYU is the minor league police farm team for Irvine cops...
