Mystery scream
On Nov. 15, WSUPD was informed by a complainant that they had heard a female voice scream and possibly call out for help somewhere in the vicinity of the University Village dorms. WSUPD officers arrived on the scene and heard the sound of a female yelling, concluding that the sound must’ve either originated from the dorms or from the fields south of the dorm buildings. WSUPD contacted Weber County Sheriff’s Office to ask for assistance in the form of a drone operator. A WCSO deputy then arrived at the scene and checked the area with a drone, finding nothing suspicious. All units except for one WSUPD officer cleared the area.
Later, camera footage from the area indicated that the source of the screaming may have been two female individuals who had been caught on camera embracing and acting excitedly.
