Not in our house!
Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) officers at 2:10 a.m. on March 13 were called with a noise complaint from a Latin Way dorm. When they arrived, the officers heard loud music and yelling. After pounding on the door, they were given entrance. Everyone inside denied living in the residence, and officers subsequently cleared the whole building. The officers later found someone who was a resident, but the student denied having anything to do with the people in his or her residence.
Cheesed-off cops
A fire alarm went off in Tilton Hall at 7:18 p.m. on March 20, alerting TUPD. When officers arrived, all students were outside, so they approached the kitchen area. On the table was a piece of burnt cheese. The stove was also still on. Officers determined that the cheese had cooled and was no longer a fire hazard, so they advised the resident to be more careful in the future.
TUPD's biggest fan
TUPD officers outside of Bush Hall at 12:15 a.m. on March 25 heard a loud coughing noise that seemed to come from above them. They looked up and saw a fan in a third-floor window, turned in the "exhaust" position, with smoke coming from the room. After going inside the building and smelling burning marijuana, the officers entered the room and confiscated a glass pipe. Although the fan was still on when the officers entered, the residents denied being involved in smoking in the room.
Follow your nose!
A student at 9:48 p.m. on March 26 was heading toward Cousens Gym and reached for the door and someone else opened it from the inside. The student received a bump on the forehead and a bloody nose but refused treatment.
