A different kind of beer
Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) officers at 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 8 spotted someone with what appeared to be an open can of beer while they were driving near Miller Hall. The officers approached the pedestrian and identified him as a Tufts student. The pedestrian claimed the can in question contained root beer. Upon further investigation, TUPD discovered the can did in fact contain beer. The officers confiscated the beer can and notified the Dean of Student Affairs Office.
An irresistible offer
A female student reported to TUPD on Sept. 9 that she had received a suspicious response to her TuftsLife post in which she requested a ticket to Fall Ball. She claimed that one person by email offered to give her his ticket if the girl would remain by his grandmother's bedside for one to two days. The seller of the ticket wanted the purchaser to wait until his grandmother woke up to sign her will so he could receive an inheritance. The student did not accept the offer.
Bike, bike as fast as you can
A student reported at 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 12 that someone had stolen a laptop from 4 Colby St. TUPD received information that a person might have been riding a bike down the street carrying a laptop. TUPD along with the Medford and Somerville Police were able to identify and locate the laptop-carrying biker. Police placed him under arrest. The case is still ongoing.
