At 7:20 a.m. on Nov. 13, an officer responded to a report of a loose dog running near the campus mall entrance of McIntyre Library. The brindle and white boxer-type dog appeared energetic but not in distress and approached the officer, even urinating on his boot as it ran over.
The officer secured the dog in his squad car and transported it to the Eau Claire Community Humane Association after he could not find an owner nearby.
Hit-and-run leaves damage in Towers Lot
At 12:41 p.m. on Nov. 7, an officer met with a complainant whose vehicle was struck while parked in the Towers Lot. The driver returned to find a four-inch dent with red paint transfer on her white Toyota, though no suspect vehicle could be identified.
The officer photographed the damage, completed a “non-reportable” crash form and advised the driver that limited camera coverage in the lot made it unlikely the offender would be found.

Screaming report in Towers North not found
At 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 8, officers were dispatched to Towers Hall North after a caller reported hearing screaming from either room 981 or 977 on the ninth floor.
Officers contacted one of the residents of room 981, who explained she had been on a phone call and may have been louder than usual, but was not in distress. The complainant in room 979 told officers the noise had traveled through the vents and no further issues were found.
Student treated after allergic reaction
At 11:32 a.m. on Nov. 12, officers were dispatched to Student Health Services for a student who went into anaphylactic shock after receiving an iron supplement. Nursing staff said the reaction started almost immediately, with the student showing swelling, breathing difficulty and a rapid drop in blood pressure.
Staff administered epinephrine right away, which helped stabilize her vital signs before Eau Claire Fire Department’s Truck Five and Medic Six arrived. Fire personnel continued the medical assessment and monitored her condition while preparing for transport.
During the assessment, the student told responders she wanted to be taken to Mayo Hospital for further treatment. EMS assisted her onto a medical cot and into the ambulance, and she was transported shortly afterward while the officer later notified the on call Hall Director.
