On Sept. 9 at 4:15 a.m., Emory Police Department (EPD) responded to a call regarding an intoxicated student at Turman Hall. The complainant, who was the resident adviser (RA) on-call, reported that a student called him about his roommate needing medical assistance. The student said the subject left the room earlier and returned around 1:30 a.m. looking drunk and walking “funny.” The student asked the subject if he was OK, and the subject responded yes and went to bed. At around 3 a.m., the student reported that the subject began breathing heavily, making weird noises, convulsing and vomiting. The subject fell out of his bed, walked over to the student’s bed and fell down again. Emory Emergency Medical Services (EEMS), DeKalb County Fire Rescue and American Medical Response (AMR) units arrived on the scene and spoke with the subject. AMR personnel placed the subject on a gurney and transported him to Grady Memorial Hospital. Campus Life was notified about the incident.
On Sept. 10 at 8:43 a.m., EPD responded to a call from the Callaway Memorial Center in reference to a burglary. The complainant, who works in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, said she arrived at her office at about 8:30 a.m. and discovered it in disarray. Several yellow envelopes containing the keys to various doors were scattered on her desk, and two laptop bags containing laptops were moved outside their original cabinets. The complainant noticed the door that separates her office from an adjoining office was open and the adjoining office was also in disarray. The complainant said the offices were in their normal state when she left work on Friday at about 5 p.m. The person who works in the adjoining office discovered that items from two storage cabinets had been dumped onto the floor along with more of the yellow envelopes. She also discovered her bottle of champagne empty, a bottle of rum in a recycling bin and several Lindt chocolate wrappers on the floor. Officers observed that the lock on the sliding glass door that divides the adjoining office and an outdoor patio was broken and the sliding screen door was cut. A graduate student told officers that someone left beer in the refrigerator in the graduate student lounge and there was beer spilled on the carpet. Officers located a six-pack of SweetWater 420 and a 12-pack of Modelo beer on a shelf near the door. The complainant said that the SweetWater beer may have been taken from a locked vacant office down the hall. Facilities Management advised that they would secure the sliding glass door in the adjoining office. The case has been assigned to an investigator.

The backpack is valued at $250 and the laptop at $1,000. Officers spoke with a woman on the scene who said she was sitting in her vehicle around noon when she heard a crashing sound. She said she assumed it was an accident in the parking deck but did not turn to get a better look. The case has been assigned to an investigator.
On Sept. 10 at 7:16 p.m., EPD responded to a call regarding a theft. The complainant, an Emory student, said she left her camera on the first floor of the Robert W.

On Sept. 11 at 8:44 p.m., EPD responded to a call regarding indecent exposure. The complainant, who is not affiliated with Emory, said that, on Sept. 10 between 2 and 3 p.m., she was at Panera Bread in East Village with her daughter and three of her daughter’s friends, who are between 14 and 15 years old. The complainant said a black male, approximately 45 years old and 6 feet 2 inches, kept looking at the teens, moved closer to them and then exposed himself to them. The teens reported the incident to the manager at Panera Bread, and the manager asked the subject to leave, which he did. The complainant said the manager also called the DeKalb County Police but was not sure if a case number was generated and decided to call EPD also. DeKalb County Police will investigate the incident as it occurred in their jurisdiction, but EPD officers have been made aware of the case and will be on the lookout for the subject.
