Occupational Hazards

An officer of the Oakland University Police Department was walking down the left side of the outside stars to the OUPD station on Feb. 11 around 2 p.m. when she stumbled and fell down the stairs toward parking lot P-41. The officer landed on her left knee at the bottom of the stairs and her face struck a parked vehicle next to where she fell. The officer did not request any medical attention, but another officer still produced two ice packs for the injured officer to use in her office if needed for swelling later. The incident was captured on security footage.

Caught on Camera

During a night class on Feb. 12, a professor called OUPD dispatch to report a possible Minor in Possession over a Zoom call. The professor told dispatch that one of her students on the call was drinking a beer on camera. Two officers were sent to the room of the student in question. Upon arriving, the student admitted she drank half a can of Bud Light and produced the can in question. The officers advised she pour out the rest and issued a civil infraction citation. The student was very cooperative with officers during the incident. The officers then cleared the scene.
