    CRIMINAL MISCHIEF

    A 29-year-old student was caught shooting a BB gun at some wood blocks in the backyard of the Jacob House. The officers confiscated his BB gun. Charges are pending for disorderly conduct and discharging a firearm in city limits.

    University Police officers first noticed the man holding the firearm as he was standing in the backyard of the Jacob House, 1430 North, at approximately 4:45 p.m. Feb. 16. The man was holding the gun in a firing position over his shoulder.

    The officers, who were leaving the police ramp near the Abraham O. Smoot Administration Building, said they thought he might have a rifle. When confronted, he said that he and some other students had shot the blocks.

    A Superfan surprised audiences at the Men’s Volleyball game against University of Southern California Friday night, Feb. 18. An 18-year-old BYU student disrupted the match when he ran into the match, wearing only blue underwear briefs and his USC friend’s team-number splattered all over his chest in body paint.

    A BYU police officer tried to make contact with the fan, but he ran out of the Smith Fieldhouse. A short time later the student was arrested for disorderly conduct and interfering with the police. He was cited into court for the violations and released.
