A woman called to report that she and her friend were walking the ski trails behind West Ridge when they encountered a moose. They ran away from the moose, but dropped an iPhone. She said the moose was still there and they were getting very cold but, h-e-l-l-o, it is an iPhone.
She requested assistance back to her vehicle and help with retrieving the iPhone. An officer went on the Ski Trails with the Rhino, recovered the iPhone and gave the women a courtesy ride back to their vehicle at IARC.

Dont trust men with earmuffs, ever
Friday, March 19, 4:39 p.m.
A woman reported that a man might have touched her inappropriately in the chest region when she was in the library. Fortunately, she got a snapshot of the suspect, so an officer was able to locate him on the second floor. The officer confirmed that he was a student. He admitted to interacting with the woman but denied touching her or stealing her earmuffs, which, curiously, turned up missing during the encounter. The individual was warned about his behavior and library staff was advised to keep an eye on him and call police if there were any more incidents.
