No Officer, I don’t know whose vomit I’m sleeping in
Officers received a call at 3 a.m. Thursday morning from a staff member in Birch Hall reporting that one of her residents was vomiting and had fallen asleep. When they arrived on scene, campus police noticed a strong smell of alcohol and vomit as they approached the student to shake her awake. When asked if she had been drinking she said that she had not.
Then the officers asked her if she was ill and she said that she was not. When questioned about whose vomit it was that she was sleeping in she replied that she did not know. The student was unsteady on her feet and disoriented when she attempted to get out of bed. She was taken to the hospital for further treatment. The student will be judicially charged with protective custody and an underage alcohol violation.
Vicious Bobcat mangles car
Officers arrived at the North Campus access road Thursday afternoon, just around 2 p.m., for a report of a motor vehicle accident. A Bentley facilities employee had been using a Bobcat construction vehicle to clear snow from the sidewalk when they accidently backed into a parked vehicle. The passenger-side door of the parked car received a sizable dent from the machine. The owner of the vehicle was contacted. Since the accident occurred on Waltham Police Department’s jurisdiction, they handled the report.
Sloshed Student Sleeps in Stairwell
A staff member called into the station to report she had observed a male passed out in the stairwell in Forest Hall at midnight Saturday. When the student awoke, he got up and stumbled down the hallway. Officers found the student in the hallway, but before they could reach him, the kid fell flat on his face. When officers reached him, he appeared uninjured and attempted to get back up on his feet. When asked where he had been drinking that night he could only point down the hallway.
While speaking with the officers, he had trouble standing on his own, and due to his inability to perform any field sobriety tests he was taken into protective custody. During booking at Waltham Police Department, he admitted that he had a fake ID. He will be judicially charged with an underage alcohol violation, protective custody, and possession of a false ID.
The Case of the Disappearing Pot
Saturday night, just before 1 a.m., a staff member reported a bag of marijuana on the floor between Cedar and Elm on the first floor. A sergeant responded and stated that the bag was gone on arrival and the RAs on scene did not see who had taken it. All clear.
Drug Search & Seizure Upsets Passerby
While on patrol in the Rauch parking lot Sunday at 8 p.m., campus police observed a vehicle with the driver’s side door wide open. They checked the car for forced entry but found none, but noticed a cigar and a GPS unit on the passenger seat.
Upon inspection of the back seat they noticed a small bag of weed. While checking over the rest of the vehicle officers heard a male voice asking, “Can I help you?”
Officer: “Is this your car?”
Activist: “No, and you can’t go through people’s personal property.”
Officer: “You can’t help us, please go on your way.”
Activist: *persistent* “You can’t go through people’s cars!”
Officer: “We’re conducting a police investigation, go along your way.”
Activist: *while walking away* Don’t be a %@#$!
The officer then stopped the male and had him identify himself. The student was lectured on the importance of not interfering with a police investigation and was nailed with disrespect to administrative personnel, being uncooperative with administrative personnel, and violation of university rules for failure to present ID to officers.
When officers tracked down the owner of the car and asked him about the pot he claimed it wasn’t his. He will be judicially charged with possession and use of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
