Shower casualty
Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) received a call at 1:30 p.m. on April 5 reporting that between 1 a.m. and 1:15 a.m. on the morning of April 4, a student in Bush Hall left his room to take a shower and came back to find his wallet missing.
There are no suspects for the theft.
A few bad eggs?
TUPD officers noticed at 3:50 p.m. on April 6 that several males outside of South Hall appeared to be throwing objects at each other.
When an officer exited his vehicle to investigate, the students scattered. One of the fleeing students was carrying a carton of eggs. There were also broken eggs on the ground. The person with the eggs denied knowing anything about what they had been doing.
"He was very uncooperative," TUPD Sgt. Robert McCarthy said.
When questioned, two of the students claimed to be on the tennis team and playing a prank on freshman members of the team.
McCarthy said that officers discovered the students were members of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. "It sounds like they were throwing eggs at the pledges," he said.
Raising a stink
A TUPD officer in Tilton Hall at 9:30 p.m. on April 10 smelled marijuana coming from one room.
"A strong odor could be smelled," McCarthy said.
The officer knocked on the door and received no response; soon after, the resident arrived at his room. The student allowed the officer to enter the room, where he discovered marijuana, rolling papers, a grinder and a digital scale in the room, which the officer then confiscated.
