The following incidents were reported in the USC Dept. of Public Safety incident report summary between Friday, Feb.28, and Saturday, March 1. 

Crimes against a person

at 5:05 p.m. on March 1, a student reported to DPS that her roommate had pushed her and hit her with a loaf of bread during an argument. The second student denied making physical contact with the reporting student when questioned by DPS officers but admitted to throwing bread at her. Temporary housing was consequently arranged for the reporting student due to ongoing problems with her roommate.

Crimes against property

at 3:00 p.m. on Feb. 28, the property manager of 2727 Menlo Ave. reported to DPS that the building was damaged by water when students who resided at the location left water overflowing.

at 6:13 a.m. on March 1, DPS officers detained a suspect who was seen carrying a locked bicycle on 27th Street and Figueroa Street. The officers were unable to locate the owner of the property so the bike was impounded at the DPS office and the suspect was released at the scene.

Miscellaneous incidents

at 12:30 a.m. on March 1,  DPS officers responded to an intoxicated non-USC female who chipped a tooth outside of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. An Los Angeles Fire Department Rescue Ambulance unit was requested but the woman declined transportation for medical treatment. The officers concluded that the female was unable to care for herself and could not locate anyone to care for her. As a result, she was arrested and transported to Metropolitan Detention Center for booking.
