School Street

Hanover Police responded to an ambulance call from the undergraduate society Panarchy where an underage male was reportedly vomiting and semi-conscious. When the officers arrived, they found a young male lying on a couch in the hallway. The Dartmouth freshman had vomited all over himself, the floor and the couch and, when talking with officers, slurred his words and was difficult to understand. The student claimed to have consumed six to seven alcoholic drinks including shots of vodka and other mixed drinks. He was transported to the emergency room at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center where he was given care. The student was issued a court date of February 19 but was also given the option to take part in the alcohol diversions program.

The officers approached the intoxicated male and asked him what he was doing. The male was incoherent and the officers reported that he was wearing a shirt rather than pants on his legs. The 20-year-old was taken into custody and transported to Dartmouth Health Services. While in transit, the student vomited on himself. He was given a court date of February 19 but was also given the option to take part in the alcohol diversion program.

Tuck Mall

Hanover Police responded to a call from a Dartmouth student who reported that his clothes had been stolen from the Streeter Hall laundry room. The student told officers that he had left his laundry in the dryer overnight. When he returned the next day around 2:45 p.m., he discovered that his clothes had been removed from the dryer and placed on top of a washing machine. Since the student was in a hurry, he only took a few essential items and left the rest in the pile on the washing machine. When the student returned at approximately 8:45 p.m., his remaining laundry was missing. The student reported that the missing laundry included a pair of jeans, sweaters, t-shirts, underwear, socks and one bed sheet.
