Halloween...PROVO STYLE

First off, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  What a great holiday.  Pictures to come.

SO, as I have so quickly found out, EVERYONE has their own opinion on Provo, regardless of whether or not they have actually been here, let alone LIVED here.  HOWEVER, I am here to tell you that you don't know Provo until you have seen its DARK SIDE!

Let me introduce you to the POLICE BEAT of the daily BYU newspaper, THE DAILY UNIVERSE.  This will introduce you to PROVO's DARK SIDE!  No better to meet it than on HALLOWEEN!

The POLICE BEAT is a listing of the police reports from campus.  Read at your OWN DISCRETION! (This in ONLY a taste of what is out there EVERYDAY!)

Disorderly Conduct

Oct. 11: A 27-year-old former BYU student was causing a disturbance at the football game by spitting on people. He was arrested and escorted from the stadium after refusing to comply with police orders, detained and released, but banned from the university for 72 hours. No charges were found.

Oct. 11: A University of New Mexico football player, unhappy with the outcome of the game, had to be restrained by his coach and fellow players and helped onto the bus after kicking a door.

Trespassing

Oct. 8: Police discovered a woman on the third floor of the Jesse Knight Building at 4 a.m. She had fallen asleep on the couch and was asked to leave.

Suspicious Activity

Oct. 8: Police received a call reporting a masked female near the Harris Fine Arts Center who was scaring individuals.

Sept. 30: Female students in Helaman Halls complained about a man in a gorilla suit attempting to scare students near the Cannon Center. When police arrived, there was no sign of either the complainant or the gorilla. Students complained again early Oct. 3 about a man in a gorilla mask. The gorilla has not yet been identified.

Missing Person

Sept. 30: A male student was reported missing by his wife after he did not return from checking his mail. He returned roughly an hour and a half later and said that he had decided to go for a walk while he was out. (The part they are NOT posting is the FIGHT that ensued BEFORE "checking the mail")

AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE!  I don't know who would EVER have the audacity...

Welfare Check

Oct. 12: Police received a call reporting a woman walking near the Bell Tower in shorts and no shoes at 9:45 p.m. The woman was gone when police arrived.

SHE IS STILL OUT THERE!  Keep your children INDOORS!

Now you know JUST A SAMPLE of what we deal with EVERYDAY . . . BE YE WARNED!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
