Altercation ensues between two employees
A conflict between two employees in the Facilities Department occurred in a parking lot located on Boston Avenue on the afternoon of Tuesday, Feb. 8.
The incident, reported to the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) at 4:38 p.m. on the same day, occurred when one of the employees leaving work realized that his vehicle was blocked by another employee's vehicle. The second employee, who was arriving to work at the time, had double-parked his vehicle.
Once the departing employee confronted the other, a small argument ensued and words were exchanged. Reportedly, one employee eventually pushed the other. The victim filed a complaint and the incident remains under investigation. According to TUPD Sergeant Richard McConaghy, officers "very seldomly see altercations between employees."
Vandalism occurs in Wilson
On the morning of Saturday, Feb. 12, at 12:47 a.m. a Wilson House dorm room door was reported to have been smashed in.
Reportedly, there was no damage to the room itself and no objects were stolen from the room. At the time of the incident, the resident was not in the room. Upon reporting to the scene, officers contacted and notified the student of the vandalism.
The door, which is estimated to be worth approximately $200, was subsequently repaired. While there are no suspects, the case remains under investigation by the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD).
Latin Way party under violation
A loud party in Latin Way was brought to an end by the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) on the morning of Sunday, Feb. 13, at 3:03 a.m. After TUPD officers received a complaint, they entered the apartment in question to find an unspecified number of students at a party.
Other than noise regulations, the tenants also violated other University rules. Upon entering, officers found that the smoke detectors in the apartment were covered with clear-plastic wrap and tape. Also, a light fixture was covered by a flag. Photographs of these fire code violations were taken at the time of the incident.
The party was cleared and the tenants were told that a complaint was filed with Dean of Students Bruce Reitman. The students may also face fines.
