Police Briefs

 

We're not in Compton anymore, Toto

The Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) officers at 11:56 p.m. on March 2 had just finished checking on a party on Packard Ave. and were getting back in their vehicle when a male student standing on the sidewalk yelled, "F--k the police!" The three women accompanying him tried to push him away but he persisted, saying, "No, f--k them!" several times. The officers got back out of their car and took him to Lewis Hall, where they discovered that he was not a Tufts student and was visiting one of the girls who had been attempting to disassociate themselves from him earlier. When the officers told her that she was responsible for his actions, she became angry and told them that they were no different than the police in her hometown. TUPD officers reported unfamiliarity with her town's police department but are assuming she did not mean it as a compliment. 

 

Whose house is it anyway?

Officers arrived at the Alpha Epsilon Pi house at 45 Sawyer Ave. at 2:08 a.m. on March 4 to break up a party. They reported seeing 10-15 people on the first floor and 15-20 on the upper floors, but none of these people reported being a resident of the house. The officers found a beer keg with a tap in the middle of the kitchen floor and confiscated it along with a nearly empty one in the fridge. Eventually, they did find a resident and broke up the party.
