Drunken parking
A Tufts University Policy Department (TUPD) officer found a student passed out next to the rear wheel of a parked car on Professors Row at 12:16 a.m. on Aug. 31. When TUPD officers woke the student, he admitted that he had been drinking. Cataldo Ambulance Service transported the student to Somerville Hospital.
World's strongest men
A Tufts Emergency Medical Services (TEMS) student worker received a call regarding five college-aged males in front of the worker's home on College Ave at 2:25 a.m. on Sept. 3. The men were seen attempting to lift a TEMS vehicle parked on the sidewalk; they left after being spotted.
Take the money and run
TUPD received seven reports of theft from inside the Gantcher Center on Sept. 7. Members of the men's track team left their backpacks inside Gantcher and went out for a run at approximately 3:30 p.m. When they returned at 5 p.m., seven of them reported that their wallets had been stolen from their bags.
For medical use only
A Health Service employee found a large bag sitting in the middle of Professors Row and reported it to TUPD at 7:15 p.m. on Sept. 9. The bag contained one pound of marijuana, according to TUPD Sgt. Robert McCarthy. TUPD confiscated the bag, which now sits in the department's evidence locker.
Fail Ball
TUPD responded to seven alcohol-related incidents on Sept. 10, the night of Fall Ball. Four originated from the event itself, while three other on-campus calls were not directly related to the dance.
One call involved an intoxicated female in Wren Hall at 12:04 a.m. on Sept. 11. As the girl was being escorted to an ambulance, she argued that there were other people who were more intoxicated than her.
"I didn't know if she wanted to trade off with somebody or wanted somebody to go with her," McCarthy said.
Let's take it outside
TUPD received reports of two fights during the early morning hours of Sept.12. The first altercation started at 12:37 a.m. in front of the Zeta Psi fraternity house at 80 Professors Row. A student was pushed, fell back and hit his head. He was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. It was not known if the attacker was a student or not.
TUPD then responded to reports of a fight in progress on the corner of Packard and Sawyer Avenues at 1:03 a.m. The two individuals involved had "met again" following an argument earlier in the evening, McCarthy said. One struck the other, but the victim did not file charges and reported no injuries. Both apologized and shook hands.
