A Hanover Police officer on patrol last Saturday noticed a female on Webster Avenue holding a red cup and walking with a male student. When the officer approached the female student, she threw the cup to the ground. After retrieving the cup, the officer found traces of an alcoholic beverage. The female student, a member of the Class of 2012, was arrested for unlawful possession and has a court date of June 1. The male student accompanying her seemed to be highly intoxicated. As the student was 21 years of age, the officer called Safety and Security. A Safety and Security officer later called Hanover Police back to the scene, where the student, who had refused to go with the Safety and Security, was being held on the ground by two officers. Hanover Police took the student into protective custody and then to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center because of his high BAC.
