Suspicious Circumstances
The University Police Department received calls about a suspicious person inside the University Student Union Nov. 4. The person who reported it said the man was acting like he was talking to someone, but there was no one there. UPD officers arrived at the scene and realized the man fit the description of a call they had received earlier in the day. The man was escorted off campus but was not arrested.
A staff member smelled “electrical burning” coming from the Family and Consumer Science building around 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5. UPD officers inspected the building but they weren’t able to determine what the odor was or where it was coming from. There were no signs of a fire.
Hit-and-Run
The top of a delivery truck ran into the height clearance sign of the Visitor Information Center on the afternoon of Nov. 6. The driver stopped and said that he would come back, but he did not. A VIC employee was able to write down the license plate number and report it to the UPD. UPD detectives are following up on the case, according to Capt. John Brockie.
Verbal Disturbance
A female was screaming inside of the Horn Center around 5:30 p.m. Nov. 4. After arriving at the scene and talking to witnesses, the officers determined the woman needed to be taken in for a mental health evaluation. Whether or not the woman had any affiliation with CSULB is unknown, according to the UPD.
