Oil leak
On Feb. 9, a Weber State University police officer observed a streak of oil stretching from 4600 South and Old Post Road to the west side of the University Village parking lot. The oil leak originated from a White Jeep parked by Building One, where the black liquid was seeping out of the driver’s side front tire area. Police verified the liquid was oil and took photos.
Skyline arrest
On Feb. 10, police arrested a driver on multiple charges and impounded their vehicle. While patrolling, a Weber State officer spotted an older model truck east on Country Hills traveling onto Skyline Parkway at nearly double the speed limit. The interaction did not lead to a chase, but officers did need to initiate a traffic stop. Officers found the driver with controlled substances on their person. The driver was charged with failure to stop, reckless driving, exhibition driving and minor possession of tobacco.
The art of surprise
On Feb. 10, officers were dispatched to the Kimball Visual Arts Center with reports of someone possibly sleeping on campus. At arrival, no one was found in the reported room. After further investigation, it was discovered to be an art project, not a person.
Suspicious person
On Feb. 11, WSUPD responded to Wildcat Village over claims of a suspicious person. The complainant described the suspect as male, 30-40 years old and dressed in a dark winter jacket, walking around while exhibiting unusual behavior. Police patrolled the parking lot, inside the courtyard and the woods around the building. Police say the suspect was not found; ongoing monitoring is in effect.
Mark-up
On Feb. 12, WSU police were notified via email about three windows being written on by a dry-erase marker at the Stewart Center Building at the WSU Davis Campus. The writing didn’t appear to be any type of threat to the school. There are no witnesses or suspected leads at this time.
Trapped
On Feb. 12, an officer assisted with a trapped elevator in Residence Hall Three. The elevator was not stuck in between floors but did trap multiple people inside. After everyone was helped out of the elevator, police contacted Facilities Management and informed them of the faulty elevator.
