Police Briefs

Just another manic Monday

Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) officers at midnight on Jan. 30 broke up a party on Sunset Road. The party, identified as being hosted and attended by Tufts students, consisted of an estimated 150 people. Nothing was confiscated and no one was sent for medical care. TUPD officers expressed confusion over why someone would have such a large party on a Monday night.

Peter Piper punched a pane

A Tufts student at 1:46 a.m. on Feb. 3 alerted TUPD that someone had smashed the glass of the left door to Hodgdon Hall. A student who was waiting near Hodgdon when police arrived said that although she herself had not witnessed the incident, she heard that a male student possibly named Peter had punched out the window while arguing with another female student.

Maybe he had uromysitisis poisoning

Health Service employees at noon on Feb. 3 called TUPD to report a suspicious person urinating in their parking lot. The student was identified as a member of the fraternity next door. After describing the suspect to residents of the fraternity, TUPD officers were able to identify the student and send his information to the Dean's office.

Bashed … or smashed?

Four students were sent to Somerville Hospital on Feb. 3, the night of Winter Bash. Two others were treated but released without being hospitalized.

Weed out the liars

TUPD officers at 8:28 p.m. on Feb. 5 followed the smell of marijuana to a dorm room on the first floor of Hodgdon. After hearing voices inside the room, the officers asked the students to open the door. There was obvious evidence of marijuana use in the room, but one of the two students inside insisted he never smoked, and the other corroborated this report. The other student was held accountable for the marijuana grinder, two joints and multiple bags of marijuana that were found and confiscated that evening.
