TATIANA DIAZ Staff Writer

Attempted Suicide University Police Capt. John Brockie said officers responded to a call on April 13 about a person sitting on the edge of the ledge of the Eastside Parking Structure. Brockie said the responding officers con- tacted the individual and determined that the person was a danger to themselves. The individual cooperated with officers, Brockie said, and was taken into custody for a psychological evaluation. University Police is authorized by state law to confine a person suspected of hav- ing a mental disorder that makes them a danger to themselves, a danger to others or is gravely disabled. The person can be taken into custody for a period of up to 72 hours for assess- ment, evaluation and crisis intervention, or placement for evaluation and treat- ment in a facility designated by the coun- ty for evaluation and treatment approved by the State Department of Health Care Services.

Hit-and-Run A student was struck by a car in the Nut- wood Parking Structure on April 11. Brockie said the driver stopped at the scene and spoke to the student who did not desire medical attention at the time of the incident. The student sustained minor scrapes and bruising on both shins, Brockie said. The driver spoke with University Po- lice and said the student came out of nowhere. University Police had originally report- ed the incident as a hit-and-run, and fol- lowed it up as a hit-and-run. After interviewing the driver and stu- dent, Brockie said it was determined there wasn’t a criminal case and that the driver TRACY HOANG / DAILY TITAN will not be charged. Capt. John Brockie said people contemplating suicide are taken into University Police custody for assessment.
