This story reviews the University Police Department’s daily crime logs. An Orion reporter spoke with Lt. Bryce Davison for more information regarding certain logged events from last week, Jan. 25-29.
Sunday, Jan. 25:
Call Type: Standby-Keep The Peace
At Éstom Jámani Dining Center, North Tower, an intoxicated male was getting agitated and yelling at housing staff. The staff requested UPD. UPD came and he calmed down and went to bed. Once he sobered, there were no further issues, Davison said.
Call Type: Welfare Check
A woman was sitting outside on a bench outside of Mechoopda Hall. She was crying, shaking, having a possible panic attack and possibly drinking.
The reporting person who called UPD didn’t believe an ambulance was needed for the woman. A UPD officer showed up on the scene and later the woman was transported by medics to Enloe Hospital. The UPD officer then submitted a Maxient report.
A Maxient report is a software system that colleges and universities use to document and manage student behavior, including misconduct, academic integrity issues and wellness concerns.
Call Type: Medical Aid
A woman at Konkow Hall was passed out in the women’s restroom. She defecated on herself and was on the floor, unconscious but breathing.
It’s not certain if she fell or lay down on the floor, Davison said. For medical logs, UPD doesn’t go as in depth — they are concerned more about the individual.
“So a lot of other things can come into play, and in that moment, they’re (UPD) not worried about, is this alcohol, or is this a diabetic issue? They (UPD) worried about getting them to the hospital,” said Davison.
A Maxient report was taken and she was transported to Enloe Hospital.
Monday, Jan. 26:
Call Type: Vandalism
A reporting person stated that there were popped tires on a vehicle at the bottom of a ramp on the west side of the Meriam Library, where Chico State vehicles are typically parked, said Davison.
The reporting person stated that somebody was down there starting a fire near one of the doors, which caused a door to be charred.
The reporting person advised that the same thing happened last Friday. The reporting person said that last Friday, her coworker saw a male inside the building – unknown if the male is related to this, said Davison.
“That person they saw was a white male adult in his fifties,” said Davison.“That male had feces on him. And advised that the area outside also had feces near it.”
A UPD officer came to the scene to investigate. The officer located evidence of multiple warming fires that somebody had started near the concrete. But UPD officers did not find any evidence of any physical damage done to any property. The reporting person thought the door may have been damaged, but the UPD officer did not see evidence of the door being charred. There was no evidence of any popped tires either.
“She (UPD Officer) did not see any damage to any property, so I assume that means she did not see any popped tires either,” Davison said.
For the next couple of weeks, throughout the night, UPD officers are going to be checking the area to see if anybody is down there starting warming fires, Davison said.
Thursday, Jan. 29:
Call Type: Field Contact
UPD officers arrested a man who was trespassing on the railroad tracks. Before the arrest, UPD officers came into contact with him to inform him that it’s illegal to be walking on the railroad tracks.
During the confrontation, officers confirmed the individual’s identification – he had an arrest warrant. UPD officers then went to arrest him because of his arrest warrant.
As they emptied the man’s pockets, he had ammunition, narcotics and drug paraphernalia. He had prior convictions for felonies and as part of the terms, he is not allowed to have guns or ammunition, which was another violation of the law, said Davison.
The information came from the daily crime logs in UPD’s media bulletin. Not all logs from Jan. 25-29 were featured in this story.
