Upon their arrival,  the officers were directed to an intoxicated student in the alley.  The student appeared confused and told the officers that she was diabetic, so they transported her to California Hospital for evaluation.

The male said the female was in possession of his cell phone, and she returned it while the officers were present. The male also said he no longer wanted the female living in his residence, and she left the scene without further incident.

at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 30, DPS officers responded to a student who injured his ankle when he fell off his bicycle after colliding with a parking control arm near Childs and Watt Ways. The officers examined the student and transported him to Student Health Center for medical treatment.

At 3:05 p.m. on Jan. 30, DPS officers responded to a non-USC male who became disoriented while having blood drawn in Healthcare Consultation Center II. A Rapid Response team was at the scene treating the male when the officers came. The male was responsive and no longer disoriented.  The male was then released to continue having his blood drawn.

At 1:31 p.m. on Jan. 30, DPS officers responded to a report of a non-USC female attempting to contact staff at the Eileen & Kenneth T.

She was released after being instructed to read it and abide by the stated restrictions.

at 11:04 a.m. on Jan. 30, DPS officers responded to a report of a suspicious item under a chair inside the Norris Medical Library.
