A Dartmouth student approached a police cruiser on West Wheelock Street, just south of Theta Delta Chi fraternity, and began banging on the officer's window. The officer was writing parking tickets when he saw the student, and rolled down his window. The Dartmouth senior then asked what the police officer was doing outside the fraternity. The 22 year-old began accusing the Hanover Police officer of harassing him and members of Theta Delt, which he said he belonged to, and proceeded to go describe the extent to which Dartmouth students hate the Hanover Police. The officers moved to take the subject into protective custody, and when he was identified, the police learned that the student was not in fact a member of Theta Delt, but of another fraternity on campus. Despite the student's threats to sue the Hanover Police and have their officer fired immediately, no staffing changes have been reported at the station. The student was released later that day to his father.
