Questionable study habits

 

Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) officers responded to reports of marijuana use in Bush Hall at 7:45 p.m. on Feb. 17. The student suspected of using the marijuana said he smoked so that he could focus on studying for an upcoming test. He claimed not to have any marijuana left.

"Hopefully, he finished studying," said TUPD Sgt. Robert McCarthy.

 

Pot, [un]lock and drop it

 

At 1:16 a.m. on Feb. 19, TUPD officers were dispatched to Metcalf Hall on reports of marijuana use. When the door to the room suspected of emitting the odor opened, a rolled-up towel and bag covering the smoke detector were visible. The resident, who did not want to give the officers permission to enter the room, denied having any more marijuana. The student ultimately cooperated with them, though, and surrendered two glass pipes and a grinder.

 

180 bottles of beer in the … hall?

 

Upon receiving information about a delivery of six 30-packs of beer to South Hall on Feb. 21, TUPD officers followed up on the lead and observed two male students making a transaction with the driver of a van that belonged to a liquor store. Neither of the students, who were under 21, were able to complete the transaction, as the driver asked for identification.
