Patrol Officer Marcus Caskey, along with Patrol Officer Kevin Willis, were dispatched to the Living and Learning Community in reference to an unresponsive 22-year-old male. 

The Jonesboro Fire Department (JFD) and Medic One Ambulance Service were also dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, JFD personnel were attempting to locate the correct building. Willis assisted by directing them to the appropriate location. As they exited their patrol vehicles to make entry, Medic One Ambulance arrived on scene. Willis escorted JFD to the room while Caskey escorted the Medic One crew. 

Upon entering the room, they observed a male subject lying on his back on the bed, breathing but unresponsive. The male was identified as the victim, who was a guest of the suspect, resident of the room. The suspect was present in the room and was the caller who reported the incident to Jonesboro 911, which then notified UPD dispatch.

While JFD and Medic One personnel provided medical aid to the victim, officers obtained information from the suspect. The suspect said she believed the victim may have been under the influence of alcohol he consumed earlier at the home football game, and that this may have contributed to his medical emergency. 

She said the victim did not have any known medical conditions that would typically cause unresponsiveness. Medic One personnel transported the victim to St. Bernards Medical Center for further treatment.

A University Referral will be issued to the suspect for a residence hall violation, as her guest, the victim, was in violation of the University Alcohol Policy within her dorm room. The suspect is responsible for the actions of her guest.

Patrol Officer Kevin Willis was dispatched for an individual who wished to make a report regarding threats. 

Upon arrival, Willis spoke with the victim, who stated he was at the homecoming football game earlier when a male identified as the suspect made threatening statements toward him related to a text exchange with the ex-girlfriend.

The victim told the backstory as follows: after he and his ex-girlfriend broke up, he texted her asking if she was talking about him. She became irate, came to his place of employment. The victim said that this incident led to his being terminated from his job. The victim told the female to stop calling or texting him, which the suspect did not accept; according to the victim, they have had problems since then.

The victim provided a voluntary statement and reported that during their encounter at the homecoming football game, the suspect engaged him in a verbal altercation and said, “I know where you live, I know where your people are, you a bitch, you will die if you speak on me again.” The victim asked that the incident be documented.

Willis said that if he experienced any further issues, he should return, and they would take additional reports. Willis asked the victim if the suspect was a current student. The victim said he did not believe the suspect was a student. Willis verified that the suspect was a former student.

Corporal Heidi Custodio was dispatched to the Living and Learning Communities in reference to a 911 call from Jonesboro Police Department of a female who had fallen off her scooter. 

Custodio was told by dispatch that the fire department and emergency medical services (EMS) were already en route. Upon arrival, Custodio made contact with the victim. She then showed Custodio the cut she had on her head. 

She then gave her a trauma pad to apply pressure with. Once the fire department and EMS were on scene, they told the victim that she could go to the hospital, and she refused. At that time, EMS and the fire department said that she would be fine.

Officer Robert Kary was dispatched to the UPD dispatch window to take a report for an injured person related to an unleashed animal.

Upon arrival, Kary made contact with the injured party, identified as the victim, who

said she was walking on the pathway between the Northpark Quads and Living and Learning Community buildings. A student, later identified as the suspect, was walking an unleashed dog along the same pathway. 

The victim said that the dog began to bark and charge at her. The victim attempted to flee from the dog and fell forward, landing face-first on the walkway. The fall resulted in injuries to her legs, elbows, and to her breast piercings. The victim was subsequently transported to NEA Baptist Hospital for further medical treatment, specifically due to ongoing breast pain related to the fall.

Video surveillance was reviewed. The footage confirms the incident and shows the suspect walking an unleashed dog into North Park Quads Building 3 at approximately 1:16 p.m.. Further investigation revealed that the suspect’s dog was not registered with the university.

The suspect was contacted and was told of the university’s regulations regarding animal control, specifically the requirements for dogs to be on a leash and registered with the university to be kept in the dormitory. 

The suspect was informed that she would receive a university referral for the infractions of having an unregistered animal and allowing the dog to be unleashed on campus property.
