At 9:35 p.m., an officer met with a man about the theft of his wallet from the Olson gyms. The man told the officer he was playing racquetball in one of the courts and had placed his wallet outside on a bench, along with other personal belongings.
When the man was done playing, the wallet was missing, but all of his other items were still there.
The man described the wallet to the officer and said there was $65 to $75 in cash, two bank statements with account numbers on them, his driver's license and his Blugold card in the wallet. The man had no credit or debit cards in the wallet.
The officer told the man to contact his bank and tell them the wallet was stolen.

At 7:51 p.m., an officer received a call from a woman who said her vehicle was stuck in the Chancellors Lot in the large amount of snow plowed in the middle of the lot. The officer arrived and spoke with the woman, who said she did not have AAA. The officer told the woman it was possible to use the "push bumper" given the situation. The woman agreed.
The officer and the woman looked at the front end of the vehicle and agreed there was no damage. The officer used the driver's side of the push bar and tapped the bumper on the passenger side of the front license plate.
The officer only had to push the vehicle a few inches before the woman was able to drive on her own. There was no damage caused to the vehicle.
