Hanover Police received a complaint from a Dartmouth graduate student after a 35-year-old male propositioned him in the basement bathroom of the Hopkins Center. The male subject allegedly requested to engage in oral sex with the student. While the suspect was scouring the bathroom looking for males with whom he could engage in sexual acts, he left two young children, one eight years-old and one 10 years-old, unattended on the main floor of the Hopkins Center near the Courtyard Cafe.
When asked about the children, the suspect claimed that they belonged to him. When the children were asked about the man, however, they told police he was in fact a friend of their father, who, at the time, was at work in Vermont. Hanover Police arrested the suspect for endangering the welfare of a child and contacted the mother of the children, who knew nothing of the babysitting arrangement.

Safety and Security requested assistance with a 30-year-old uncooperative male. According to Safety and Security, the Tuck School of Business student was belligerent and highly intoxicated. He was asked several times to leave Sigma Delta sorority but refused to do so. When Hanover Police arrived on the scene, the Tuck student claimed he lived in Hanover and could walk home. When he began to try to walk home, the police asked him to stop and he continued walking. Because the subject was having such difficulty walking, Hanover Police decided to take him into protective custody.
