Crimes against a person

At 11:52 p.m. on Feb. 12, DPS officers on routine patrol observed a non-USC male and a non-USC female involved in a physical altercation near 7-11 and detained them for investigation. LAPD officers responded to take over the investigation, and the male was subsequently arrested.

At 6:16 p.m. on Feb. 11, a student reported that she was struck by a vehicle while riding her bicycle near 32nd and Figueroa streets and the driver left the scene without stopping to check on her welfare. The student sustained an injury to her side, but she declined when the officers offered to request an LAFD RA unit. LAPD officers were requested and they responded to conduct a traffic investigation.

Crimes Against Property

At 12:36 p.m. on Feb. 13, a student in University Gateway Apartments was detained by LAPD officers and subsequently transported to Harbor UCLA Medical Center for psychiatric evaluation after making threatening statements to another student.

At 6:20 p.m. on Feb. 12, a suspect approached a student who was walking near 23rd and Portland streets and, as he passed by her, he grabbed her wallet from her hand.  The suspect fled on foot and disappeared from sight. DPS officers responded and conducted a search, but were unable to locate the suspect.

At 7:55 a.m. on Feb. 12, DPS officers responded to a report of a motor vehicle burglary having just occurred near Alpha Delta Pi and detained two suspects as they attempted to flee on foot. The officers recovered a laptop computer that one of the suspects had abandoned on the ground and, during questioning, the suspect said he removed it from a vehicle after the second suspect smashed one of its windows. Both suspects were arrested and transported to 77th station for booking.

Miscellaneous incidents

At 7:38 p.m. on Feb. 12, DPS officers detained five suspects who were observed loitering near 33rd and Figueroa streets and found one of them in possession of marijuana.

At 4:17 P.m. on Feb. 12, DPS officers detained a juvenile who refused to comply when asked to leave campus after he was observed doing tricks on his skateboard at Charles Lee Powell Hall.  The juvenile was then transported to the DPS office and released to his mother after being advised that he would be arrested for trespassing if he returned to campus.

At 8:48 a.m. on Feb. 12, DPS officers referred a student in Tuscany Apartments to counseling at Student Affairs after she informed them that she was involved in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend and fears for her safety.
