On Oct. 9 at 8:41 a.m., the Emory Police Department (EPD) responded to Robert W. Woodruff Library in reference to a theft report. The complainant, an Emory student, said his wallet and Apple AirPods were stolen while he was studying on the first floor of the library near the prayer room. He said he left the wallet and the Apple AirPods to fill his water bottle and speak with another student between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. He noticed that when he returned, the wallet and Apple AirPods were gone. The complainant valued the wallet at $60 and described it as a thin black faux leather wallet. The complainant stated that the wallet contained two credit cards that had been used to attempt purchases totalling $305. He had already frozen his accounts, so the charges did not go through.
On Oct. 10 at 5:44 p.m., EPD received an anonymous rape report from a Campus Security Authority (CSA) regarding aggravated assault. The disclosure was made to the CSA on Oct. 10, and the report was made for statistical purposes.
On Oct. 11 at 9:08 p.m., EPD responded to the Emory University Hospital (EUH) Tower Emergency Department in reference to a report of an assault. The complainant, an EUH Emergency Department technician, said a psychiatric patient had an “episode”. The technician said that the patient left her room to use the bathroom but suddenly grabbed a nearby computer monitor and broke the arm of the mount that connected it to the desk. No one on the scene was able to provide an estimate for the cost to replace the mounting arm. The technician said that she approached the patient to return her to her room, but the patient then grabbed the technician’s arms and scratched her from her elbow to her wrist. The technician said other staff came to assist and got the patient under control.
