Female aggressively followed on College Ave.
Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) officers responded to a call on Oct. 12 at 1:26 a.m. from a female on College Ave. who reported she was being followed by two males. The males approached her and identified themselves as Harvard students.
When she arrived at her house, they tried to get in with her, but she locked the door.
A few minutes later, the female and her housemates heard glass shattering in the front bedroom and discovered that a ceramic flower pot had been thrown through the window. TUPD and Somerville Police officers searched the area, but the suspects were not found.
Police pull a hat trick at Dearborn
TUPD officers arrived at 12 Dearborn, a university-owned house, after receiving a noise complaint at 3:19 a.m. on Oct. 13. That marked the third time that officers had visited the house that night. A number of students were found smoking marijuana in one of the rooms. The drugs were confiscated, and the matter has since been turned over to the Dean of the Office of Student Affairs.
Sleeping man lying down, pointing up
Two students walking on the sidewalk on College Ave. near the soccer field called to report a white male lying down by the fence, asleep and exposed, at 5:02 p.m. on Oct. 17. He was not a student.
When TUPD officers arrived, the suspect was not exposed, but they determined that he had been drinking. He was arrested for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.
Student hit by car while running to boathouse
TUPD received a call on Oct. 22 at 6:34 a.m. after a member of the women's crew team was hit by a driver passing by as the team took a run to the boathouse. She was taken to the hospital with possible fractures. TUPD officers were not aware, as of Oct. 22, if any charges would be filed against the driver.
