Hit and run

Awkward traffic stop
WSUPD observed a suspicious vehicle driving out of the UTA OGX bus-only lane on Oct. 8. Officers initiated a traffic stop on the south side of the Dee Event Center parking lot. They found that the individuals inside the vehicle were WSU students and on the basketball team. While the officer was retrieving information from the subjects, a WSU basketball coach approached to check on the teammates.
The coach was advised that the subjects were alright and that he needed to stand to the side, away from the traffic stop. The coach reportedly walked away slowly from the officer and stood in the middle of the roadway. The officer allowed this to avoid making a scene and because there were no vehicles coming as the traffic stop was wrapping up.
WSUPD returned to the vehicle, where the subjects were laughing and not taking the matter seriously. The students were advised they would be let off with a warning but with no exception next time this happens.

Another hit and run…
WSU officers responded to a hit and run call for service on Oct. 7. The complainant advised they had parked their vehicle in the WSU LDS Institute parking lot when an unknown vehicle struck theirs. There is no suspect information at this time and the case is still open for a further follow up.

Stay back, man
Campus police received a call to assist at the campus Women’s Center on Oct. 6. An individual spoke with an officer regarding a letter that was sent from a male individual. It is believed he sent the letter in an effort to contact the complainant. An assistant to a department received the letter and forwarded it on, inside an envelope with a WSU address. The complainant was concerned that the male had come to campus and retrieved the WSU envelope. A protective order against the subject is pending.

Do you go here?
Officers responded to a call about a suspicious individual on Oct. 5. After arriving on scene, officers could not locate the suspect.

Each time the subject has been approached, he acts like he does not know English. He will speak to staff in English until he recognizes he is doing so and switches to Spanish.
The suspect has not been aggressive or violating any laws. Campus buildings are open to the community, as explained to questioning staff members. The suspect is a tall, thin white male with white hair and is typically seen wearing t-shirts, jeans and a red backpack.

What are you going to use that for?

These kids are wildin’
