Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) at 1:45 p.m. on Oct. 21 responded to a noise complaint on College Avenue. When the officers arrived at the off−campus house, they saw approximately 20 people inside.

"We heard a lot of wild music," Sgt. Robert McCarthy said. TUPD identified the residents of the house and broke up the party. One of the residents was not happy that TUPD was present, McCarthy noted, and asked the officers to leave. As the officers were leaving, one of the residents "called an officer an a−hole," McCarthy said. Because the officers had identified the student, a report about her behavior was sent to the Office of Student Affairs. Treacherous Talbot Avenue

At 2:43 p.m. on Oct. 22, a student approached TUPD officers on Talbot Ave. to report that his friend had fallen off his skateboard. The friend was lying in the street and bleeding from the head. He was transported to Cambridge Memorial Hospital and was treated but not admitted overnight. Out Cold

At 3:21 a.m. on Oct. 22, TUPD received a call that a male individual was passed out on the ground on a street on campus. When the officers arrived at the scene, they identified him as a Tufts student. Armstrong Ambulance Service transported the student to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Five other students were admitted to either Somerville Hospital or Lawrence Memorial Hospital this weekend due to alcohol poisoning. One was transported from Cousens Gym, two from Houston Hall and two from Bush Hall.

"It is a lot really, we've had more," McCarthy said, regarding the number of students admitted to area hospitals for alcohol poisoning over the weekend.
