On Oct. 15 at 10:12 a.m., the Emory Police Department (EPD) received a report of entering auto incident via telephone. The complainant said she parked her unlocked green 1998 BMW on the fifth level of the Lowergate East Parking Deck at 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 14. She said when she returned to the vehicle at 11:30 a.m., she discovered that her pair of black Fila shoes were missing from the car. She said the vehicle was still unlocked when she returned, and nothing else appeared suspicious. The complainant reported that she did not observe any damage to the vehicle.

On Oct. 15 at 3:35 p.m., EPD responded to Emory University Hospital (EUH) Midtown in reference to a report of missing property. The complainant, a visitor, said she left her phone in the third-floor bathroom of the intensive care unit at 1:30 p.m. The complainant stated that she asked Emory Healthcare Public Safety officer if a phone had been turned in and was told there had not been. She stated she went home to use the Find My iPhone application and tracked her phone to Interstate 285. The complainant stated that her phone was a rose gold iPhone 7 valued at $200.

On Oct. 16, EPD received a report of harassing communication via email. The email chain forwarded by the complainant indicated that a former Emory University student had sent multiple unwanted and unsolicited emails to a University employee. The content of the multiple emails appeared to be disjointed and incoherent. In addition to the employee, other recipients of the former student’s emails included newspapers like The New York Times and The Washington Post and several other individuals. The employee said she has been receiving emails from the former student for over a year, with at least 20 since August 2019. 

On Oct. 19 at 9:35 a.m., EPD responded to the EUH Midtown Emergency Department in reference to a subject who refused to leave. The officer observed that a patient was escorted by Emory Healthcare Public Safety officers out of the Emergency Department. The patient was yelling vulgar language repeatedly and acting in a tumultuous manner toward the public safety officers. The public safety officer stated that the patient was angry because he had been discharged from the hospital but did not want to leave. The EPD officer gave the patient several verbal commands to leave the property. The patient ignored verbal commands to leave the property and continued to cause a disturbance by yelling vulgar language and trying to go back inside the hospital. The patient then stated, “If I had a gun, I would shoot you right now.” The EPD officer detained the patient by handcuffing his hands behind his back and double locking the handcuffs.

On Oct. 19 at 7:11 p.m., EPD responded to EUH in reference to a report of theft.

She said that their personal bag was left unattended in the patient room during this time. The complainant said that they noticed the cell phone was missing on Oct. 15 at approximately 2 p.m., and said no other items were missing. The son stated they attempted to track the phone’s location. However, they were unable to because the phone was turned off. The complainant said the cell phone was a black Samsung Galaxy S9 valued at $600.

On Oct. 21 at 2:08 p.m., EPD responded to Tin Lizzy’s Cantina at Emory Point in reference to a report of burglary that had occurred overnight.

After a locksmith arrived on site and gained access to the building at 10:30 a.m., the manager said that he entered the restaurant and began his opening duties. He stated that when he opened the safe to check the cash, he discovered that the cash was not in the safe. The manager said as soon as he discovered that the cash was missing, he contacted the area director by text message.
