On a walkthrough of South Fayerweather Hall, Safety and Security found a sophomore girl lying on the floor, unresponsive. By the time Hanover Police arrived, she had pulled herself up and was resting against the wall for support. She told officers that she had been drinking at a sorority that night, although she did not say how much she had had to drink or what she had been drinking. When the ambulance arrived to take the student to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, the student became argumentative and refused to get into the vehicle. When emergency personnel gave her the option of getting into the ambulance or going to Grafton County Jail for the night, the student changed her mind. Once she arrived at the emergency room, she again refused to get out and had to be told her options again to persuade her to leave the ambulance and enter the hospital.

Hanover Police was called to the Choates to assist Safety and Security with an intoxicated female. The female, a Dartmouth freshman, entered a male friend's room, proceeded to take off most of her clothing, and climbed into the bed of her friend's roommate. When the friend came back, he dressed the woman in one of his large t-shirts to cover her up and attempted to rouse her. When he could not wake her, he became concerned and called Safety and Security. Safety and Security also was unable to wake her and called Hanover Police and emergency personnel. The woman awoke as soon as she was placed on the ambulance cot. When questioned by police, she said that she had only had two drinks, denied taking off her clothing, pointing to the large shirt she was wearing as evidence. When shown the clothing that had been given to police by her friend, she became confused, and was unable to explain how they came to be removed from her body. She later was found to have a BAC of 0.17.

The student made it all the way across the hood and then fell off of the car on the other side. When the officer approached to make contact with the student, he ignored the officer, and only stopped after the officer raised his voice and ordered him to stop. When questioned by the officer, the student told him that he "was trying to get his bag out of his car so that he could make himself right." The student was arrested.

When confronted with this discrepancy, the ID's owner, an 18-year old Tufts student, admitted that the ID was a fake. He was arrested for misrepresenting his age and given a court date of Jan. 8.
