…losers weepers
A student reported at 1 a.m. on Oct. 9 that a laptop had been stolen out of his room at the Theta Delta Chi fraternity house at 123 Packard Ave.
An inhospitable guest
A Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) officer received a call at 11:47 p.m. on Oct. 9 reporting that an individual was causing problems at the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity house at 126 Packard Ave. Fraternity brothers asked the individual, a Boston University student, to leave. In response, he punched one of the brothers. The Tufts students held him down until TUPD arrived. The BU student had been drinking and was asked to leave the campus.
Since TUPD did not witness the assault, officers could not make an arrest, but the assaulted student was given the option of taking a complaint to court, according to TUPD Sgt. Robert McCarthy.
