Angry Ex, or miniature tornado? You decide
Two students left their room in Slade Hall Friday night just after 9 p.m. for a night of fun.When they returned at 3 a.m., they found their room had been ravaged.
A smashed dinner plate was the first sign of a vicious rampage that included their TV on the floor, an iPod docking station broken, and clothes thrown all over the room.
Curiously, the culprit appeared to be targeting only one of the two resident’s belongings. The two were unsure if they had locked their door but there was no sign of forced entry. They had no idea who may have been responsible for the destruction, and due to a lack of suspects, the case is closed.
Sunday evening, a staff member called in to report that there were two holes in the walls on the fifth floor hallway of Collins Hall, near the front of the building. Facilities Management was notified.
Basketball mechanism aflame
A University Police officer investigating a fire alarm in the Dana Center was surprised to find that the motor that raises and lowers the basketball nets was on fire. The small flame, about 8-12 inches tall, was extinguished after power was shut off to the gym.
Waltham Fire Department determined the cause of the fire was an overheated mechanism resulting from being left on after the game. An electrician was called to check for damage.
Portal opens in Slade
A University Police officer took a report from a student in the police station about a missing hockey bag. The student informed the officer he had left the blue duffel bag in the hallway in Slade Hall Sunday night around 7 p.m. and it was gone the next morning. The bag contained hockey skates and gloves, at a total value of $500.
The student called the station Monday to report he had found the bag next to the snack machine downstairs. Case closed.
Miller, eh? Almost made it
While on patrol around the Miller area at 1 a.m. Sunday morning, a Police officer observed a male and female get out of a cab. The female appeared to be unstable on her feet and needed to be held to prevent her from falling on her way into Miller. The officer asked the couple if they had been drinking that night.
The female, who was not a Bentley student, replied that she had been drinking far too much. She then failed a sobriety test and was taken into protective custody. The guy she was with had alcohol on his breath but was coherent and able to answer questions. He was released with an underage alcohol violation and a guest policy violation.
Stumbling hoodlum found with blow
Just before midnight Saturday, a staff member noticed an intoxicated male stumbling across the Greenspace. The male was wearing a baseball cap and dark jacket. When officers arrived, they observed the drunkard teeter as he climbed the stairs toward Miller and called out to him.
Once they brought him over to the cruiser, he began to yell at the officers claiming he was just going back to his dorm and that they should let him go. The officers determined he was intoxicated and placed him into protective custody.
While on their trip to the station, the student pointed out what he claimed to be his house and asked to be dropped off. When officers ignored his request, he began yelling and kicking from the back seat.
During a very uncooperative booking, the hoodlum was found to be in possession of a small baggie of cocaine. He will be judicially charged with an underage alcohol violation, protective custody, and possession of a controlled substance.
