An officer on patrol observed four male subjects in the alley near Everything But Anchovies carrying multiple "30-racks" of Keystone Light. As the subjects, all of whom were Dartmouth students, appeared to be close to or not yet over 21 years old, the officer intercepted them. Two of the students were in fact 21-years-old, but the third was 20 and the fourth was 19. Hanover Police charged the of-age students with providing alcohol to minors and charged the remaining two with unlawful possession of alcohol. All four are scheduled to appear in court on August 10. Participation in the alcohol diversion program will be contingent on each one's "past experiences" with the police department, according to Hanover Police.

While on patrol, Hanover Police officers noticed a suspicious-looking parked car. Upon checking the vehicle, they discovered the inspection sticker appeared to be self-applied. The officers determined that a 64-year-old male Hanover resident had taken the sticker, which was intended for another vehicle, and applied it to the vehicle in question to make it appear to have passed its inspection. The subject's court date is scheduled for August 24.

Officers on foot patrol witnessed a male "staggering" down the alley near Ledyard Bank. The subject nearly tripped over the curb and fell on his face before seating himself on a bench, at which point the officers approached him. Although the subject, a 29-year-old Fairlee, Vt., resident, was of age, he initially provided a false name when questioned by the officers. The male was taken into protective custody but was uncooperative. Hanover Police reported that the subject began yelling and screaming obscenities at the officers. The officers decided to take him to the Grafton County Jail. The intoxicated male remained at the jail until he was satisfactorily sober, at which point he was released without further incident.
