Hanover Police received a report from a male Dartmouth '05 that a rock had been thrown through a second story window of his off-campus apartment. The rock reportedly left a hole in the window about five or six inches in diameter. The senior heard the glass break as the rock went through the window, but did not see the thrower.

May 11, West Wheelock Street, 10:06 p.m.

An officer observed four individuals who he believed to be underaged bringing closed alcoholic beverages into a car. Based on his suspicion, he pulled the car over and discovered that the driver of the car was in fact 20 years old. The officer arrested the Dartmouth '07 for transportation of alcohol by an underaged person. The sophomore has a court date June 7.

May 12, Wentworth Street, 3:23 a.m.

Dartmouth Safety and Security asked Hanover Police for assistance with an intoxicated and uncooperative male student in Novack Cafe. When police arrived at Novack, the 20-year-old had run away from Safety and Security officers. Police finally caught up with the Dartmouth junior outside Rollins Chapel, where they arrested him for unlawful possession of alcohol, intoxication and resisting arrest or detention.

An ambulance parked on Webster Avenue for an unknown reason was struck by an unidentified object on the passenger side window. Police do not know where the projectile was thrown from, or who threw it.

May 14, North Main Street, 1:11 a.m.

Hanover Police received a report from Safety and Security that five males were fighting in the vicinity of the Collis Center.

Police received a complaint from a Hanover resident that an unidentified white male with short hair had been standing outside of the individual's home in the bushes.
