I’m Trapped in a steel case of emotion!
Sunday at nearly 5 a.m., officers received a call that someone was stuck in the Fenway elevator. When they responded to the call, they were confused to find that the elevator was in perfect working order.

One officer hit the button and helped the individual out of the elevator. The trapped student did not have an ID card and was allowed to continue his confused tour of the campus.

Cruiser takes a bruiser
During the snow storm last week, a police cruiser was rear ended in Lot 3. There were no injuries reported and the only damage was to the front bumper of the ramming vehicle. The police cruiser escaped unscathed and no one was injured.

Boisterous freshman just wants to go to bed
Just after midnight Sunday, officers arrived in Miller Hall for a report of a loud male. They met with a staff member who indicated the male had just stumbled up to the second floor shouting obscenities all the while.

The officers caught up with the boisterous drunkard as he was about to enter his room. He informed them he wanted to go to bed but walked over to them anyway.

The Police immediately noticed a strong odor of alcohol on his breath and had him perform several field sobriety tests.

He was unable to perform them successfully and was placed into protective custody. He will be judicially charged with an underage alcohol violation, disorderly conduct, and protective custody.

When nature calls, you gotta answer
While on patrol at 2 a.m. the morning of Saturday, February 20, a female student frantically ran up to officers sitting in a cruiser describing a man whom she had seen urinating on the backside of Fenway Hall. She then pointed out the perpetrator walking toward the lower Greenspace.

The Police asked him if he had been urinating, and he admitted that he had. When he was informed that the female student had seen him doing it he was very apologetic. He also admitted to being underage and to drinking earlier in the night.

The student was charged with disorderly conduct, an underage alcohol violation and violation of university rules, and then was sent on his way.

An officer took a report from a student who indicated his bicycle had been stolen from Lot 31, the area of the Baseball Lot. The missing bike is silver and valued at around $300; the model and serial number were unknown. The case is open pending review of camera recordings in the area.

Is your TV running? You better go catch it!
It was a wild night on Saturday, February 13, and three unsuspecting young ladies were out on campus enjoying a party in Fenway.

At the party, they met three males that said they were Northeastern students. At the end of the night, the gentlemen informed the ladies that they had no place to stay, and the women were generous enough to offer their common room for them to sleep in.

In the middle of the night, one of the female residents woke up to use the bathroom. She began to feel uneasy when she noticed that the door to the hallway was ajar and the guys were gone.

When she looked into the hall she saw the big screen TV from their common room running down the hallway in the arms of the same handsome gentlemen from the night before.

She chased the males as they booked it out of the building, and unfortunately lost them when they crossed the volleyball courts outside. When the girl returned to her room, she found that there were many items missing, including an iPod and some cash.

During questioning, the girls could not recall the names of the thieves. The suspects could not be located, and the case is under investigation.
