This weed is dank! Or is it?

A resident assistant (RA) in Tilton Hall called the Tufts University Police Department at 1:14 a.m. on Oct. 14, saying she smelled marijuana in the dormitory. TUPD officers responded and found two students smoking the drug. The pair turned over a bong and a small bag of pot. TUPD officers confiscated and destroyed the materials.

TUPD responded to a call at 12:58 a.m. on Oct. 17 of a female student in Tilton Hall who smoked some marijuana and afterward reported feeling "weird," according to TUPD Sgt. Robert McCarthy. Tufts Emergency Medical Services, Cataldo Ambulance Service and the Somerville Fire Department responded as well, and the student was transported to Somerville Hospital for further observation.

Wet Wednesday

An RA in Carmichael Hall called TUPD at 1:14 a.m. on Oct. 15 because of two rowdy males disturbing students in the Carmichael lobby. When TUPD officers arrived at the scene, one intoxicated male was found by the Olin Center and refused to cooperate. The male, a non-Tufts student, was placed in protective custody and taken to the Medford police station. He was staying with a Tufts' student, the other person causing the disorder.

Round two

TUPDofficers responded at 1:20 a.m. on Oct. 17 to a report of a loud party at 94 Curtis St. Approximately 50 people were attending the party, and loud music blared from inside. The officers broke up the party, and the music was turned off. An hour and a half hour, at 2:50 a.m., TUPD received a call to return. The party had started up again, with about 20 people inside.
