More water balloon throwing at Zeta Psi
The Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) received a call around 3:50 p.m. on April 17 from a passerby complaining that three individuals were launching water balloons from the roof of Zeta Psi fraternity at 80 Professors Row. When the officers arrived, they saw two males and one female on the roof and asked them to come down. The individuals did not comply.
The officers rang the door bell, and when no one answered, they entered the house through an open door. Two males inside ran toward the basement, but eventually everyone involved came forward to the officers.
Two of the students in question did not belong to the fraternity. The other two said they were invited to be at the frat by another member. One officer recognized one student as the same student accused of throwing balloons at a Tufts staff member the day before, so the officers spoke to the president of Zeta Psi, who promised to send an e-mail out to the brothers asking them to stop throwing water balloons.
Come claim your kegerator, bad people ... because you might have used it ... to cool beer?
Officers were dispatched at 5:13 a.m. on April 23 to the Hillside Apartments after a fire alarm sounded. As they entered the suite where the alarm was going off, they noticed a Kegerator, a small refrigerator used to cool kegs and dispense beer, sitting in the common room. No one was in the common area or claimed the refrigerator, so TUPD identified the students that live in that apartment and the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs was contacted.
'The doors unlocked' come on in and put me on Pro I
TUPD officers were called to Hill Hall to investigate a strong aroma of burnt marijuana coming from a student's room at 9:30 p.m. on April 17. The officers went to the area where the odor was coming from, knocked on the door and heard a voice say, "Come in, the door's unlocked." They entered and saw the resident holding a pipe full of fresh marijuana. The police destroyed the pipe and all the marijuana, and a report was sent to the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs.
What luck: $300 worth of marijuana confiscated the day before 4/20
A TUPD officer noticed a vehicle driving up the access road under the walkway in front of Wren Hall at 9:55 p.m. on April 19. Since it is illegal to drive on the access road, the officer approached the car. While questioning the owner of the vehicle as to why he was there, the officer was able to see into one of the dorm's rooms, where he spotted a male rolling what the officer believed to be a marijuana cigarette.
The officer went in to investigate. The student allowed him to enter and turned over one bag of marijuana containing approximately $200 worth of marijuana and two smaller bags containing approximately $50 of marijuana each. A report was filed and turned in to the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs.
Urinating in public is actually illegal, ladies - at both Tufts and Harvard
TUPD officers were driving along Lower Campus Road near South Hall at 2:08 a.m. on April 20 when they observed three females with their pants down. All three had been urinating but quickly pulled up their pants and left when they saw the officers. They were told to halt. At first they did not, but finally they stopped to talk with the officers. One of the girls said she had no identification, but one officer observed that she had a small Coach wallet with her. He asked if her ID was in the wallet, and she again denied having one. Eventually, she did produce identification.
One of the students said she went to Harvard University, but the other two were Tufts students, so a report was sent to the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs.
