Police Briefs

Lazy boy
The Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) responded to a report at 1 a.m. on Nov. 8 of a student passed out on a chair on the porch of the Delta Upsilon fraternity house at 114 Professors Row. The student was transported to Somerville Hospital.

Dude, democratic peace theory has never seemed so real …

TUPD officers were dispatched at 2:54 a.m. on Nov. 8 to Blakeley Hall, the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy's dormitory building, after a smoke alarm was activated.

Officers detected a strong odor of "freshly burned marijuana" coming from one of the dormitory rooms, Sgt. Robert 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.

Basement break-in
TUPD officers responded to a report of a break-in at 50 Sawyer Ave. that residents, who were former Tufts students, believed to have occurred on Nov. 8 between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. The residents had left their house and believed that someone had entered their basement through a window during their absence. Two laptops and some jewelry were taken.

The house is owned by Walnut Hill Properties.

A cornucopia of crunk
A student flagged down a TUPD officer at 12:35 a.m. on Nov. 9 at the intersection of Professors Row and Curtis Street. The student said she found her friend on the side of the road, heavily intoxicated and in need of medical attention.

The friend, a female student, smelled of alcohol and could not keep her balance. She said she thought she had drunk two bottles of champagne, "a variety of shots" and several beers, according to McCarthy. The student was transported to Somerville Hospital.
