September 1

* Officers assisted Campus Public Safety in removing a man who was supposedly undressing on university property. The man left on foot, but was later arrested for returning to campus after being issued a trespass warning.

September 2

* A caller reported a man standing at a bus stop and pounding on his chest like he was "Kung Fu" fighting. The man may have boarded the bus before police arrived.

* A woman allowed her girlfriend to stay the night after she became too intoxicated. The woman's husband was not happy about the arrangement and reportedly took the friend's keys and purse. He denied taking the items.

* Officers assisted sheriff's deputies outside of the city after a man reported his mother was hearing voices and "freaking out." The caller walked out of his room and observed a knife stuck in the floor and then observed his mother standing in the dark holding four other knives. The mother was taken into protective custody and transported to the hospital.

September 3

* A caller reported that her landlord evicted her but nailed the door shut with her roommate still inside.

* A caller complained about a rabbit that was hit by a car and she wanted it moved from the roadway.

* Police responded with medical personnel to an unconscious woman. She appeared to possibly be feigning unconsciousness because she was responding to pain stimuli.

She was transported to the hospital after she made statements of wanting to do self-harm.
