On the morning of Sunday, Sept. 12 at 3:10 a.m., a non-Tufts student created a disturbance by blocking traffic on Packard Avenue. He was approached by an officer of the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD), but refused to move upon request. He was promptly arrested by TUPD for disorderly conduct and refusal to produce a license.
An armed robbery occurred at Whitfield Avenue early Saturday morning at 1:40 a.m. During a party being held at the house that evening, a resident spotted a white male in an orange hat and polo shirt leave the house with a laptop, several X-Box games, and headphones. The resident confronted the suspect outside the house, at which point the suspect brandished a knife and subsequently fled the scene in the presence of as many as six eyewitnesses, according to TUPD Captain Mark Keith. TUPD immediately released a description of the suspect to the Medford and Somerville police and within 15 minutes a Medford police officer stopped the suspect on Powderhouse Boulevard. The stolen items were recovered; the knife was not.
An unidentified male threw a brick through the window of 100 Packard Avenue, the Theta Chi house, early last Thursday at 1:10 a.m. The suspect, spotted running from the scene, was described as 5'8"-6'0" and sported khaki shorts and a dark shirt. A search of the area yielded no suspect for the vandalism.
