Case #: 210489
Date: 2021 11 15
Time: 1037
Description: Theft - Other
Location: West Lot

Notes: A CSO responded to a report of a theft in the West Lot. Upon arrival, the CSO met with a Reed Grounds staff member and a student worker employed with Grounds. The student worker reported that they had been raking leaves into the Grounds cart when a silver Mercedes pulled up nearby. An individual wearing a ski mask quickly jumped out of the vehicle and grabbed a leaf blower off of the Grounds cart then jumped back into the Mercedes which then sped away. No other information was available. The CSO suggested the student reach out to a counselor if need be as it appeared to the CSO that the occurrence had shaken up the student. The student stated that they were fine but appreciated the suggestion. The CSO reminded both Grounds staff members that the most important thing to remember is to keep themselves safe.

 

Case #: 210490

Location: GCC

Notes: A CSO responded to a request for assistance regarding a maintenance issue. Upon arrival, the CSO met with a student who reported that a propane canister in use for an event was leaking after having been tightly closed. The CSO observed that the canister was visibly covered in frost. The student explained that the tool used to depressurize the canister did not work correctly and instead caused the leak. The student also reported that they had received a minor cold burn from handling the canister but did not feel it required medical attention. The CSO contacted Facilities for disposal of the tank and remained on scene to ensure nobody neared the canister until it was removed.

Date: 2021 11 17
Time: 1530
Description: Animal Issue
Location: Grove Lot

Notes: A CSO responded to a report of a small off-leash dog aggressively biting at people in the Grove Lot. The CSO met with a student in the Grove Lot who reported that the dog was owned by a fellow student who had stopped into Commons and asked them to watch the dog. The dog was unleashed and once the owner went inside the building, the dog ran away toward the Grove Lot. The student stated that before the CSO’s arrival, they had managed to corral the dog in a community member’s vehicle. As the student was discussing the situation with the CSO, they saw the dog’s owner arrive. The dog’s owner apologized for the situation and explained that they had lost their dog’s leash but would be buying one as soon as possible. The CSO and owner, with their dog, walked to 28 West where the CSO made an ad hoc leash for the dog owner. The CSO offered to purchase a leash for the student from the Reed bookstore but the student politely declined. The CSO reminded the student that aside from the two off-leash areas on campus the dog needed to be leashed at all times when outside of the student’s residence.

The reporting party stipulated which area they believed the cannabis odor had originated from, but the CSO did not note any odor other than the lingering odor of incense.

The CSO had observed earlier in their patrols that the students seated at that table had been serving soda. The CSO approached the table and noted that the soda bottles no longer contained soda, but rather alcohol. Because the alcohol was being distributed, the CSO requested age verifications from those nearby partaking in the beverages.
