Dude, democratic peace theory has never seemed so real…
TUPD officers on Nov. 8 at 2:54 a.m. were dispatched to Blakeley Hall, the dormitory of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, after a smoke alarm was activated.
Officers detected a strong odor of "freshly burned marijuana" coming from one of the dormitory rooms, McCarthy said. The officers then spoke to the resident of the room, a female student at the Fletcher School who was not present when the alarm went off; she had two guests visiting and smoking pot in the room, which set the alarm off.
The two guests, who were not affiliated with the university, were asked to leave the dormitory.

Two laptops and some jewelry were taken.
The house is owned by Walnut Hill Properties.
