Sept. 18, 8:17 p.m.Allen StreetHanover Police received a call from a Stinson's Village Store clerk about an underage Dartmouth student trying to purchase alcohol. The male suspect was identified by Hanover Police as a member of the Class of 2013. He was attempting to use a fake Texas driver's license to purchase three cases of Keystone Light beer and one six-pack of Blue Moon beer. The student was arrested and will be given a summons to appear in court.

Sept. 19, 12:10 a.m.Tuck DriveSafety and Security called for an ambulance after officers witnessed an intoxicated male who had fallen to the ground three times while attempting to walk. When Hanover Police arrived, the male was incoherent and slurring his words. Police managed to identify him as a 19-year-old Dartmouth student.

Sept. 22, 2:00 a.m.West Wheelock StreetHanover Police responded to a call from a member of Sigma Delta sorority who said a suspicious male was trying to break into the sorority's building. When police arrived, they spoke with the Sigma Delta house manager, who said she had heard loud noises in the sorority's library. Safety and Security located two students behind Collis Student Center, one of whom matched the description of the suspect, and called Hanover Police. Both students, who are members of the Class of 2012, were highly intoxicated. The students are no longer suspects in the incident at Sigma Delta, but were charged with unlawful possession of alcohol and are due to appear in court on Oct. 26. They are each eligible for the diversion program.

September 23, 5:39 a.m.Rope Ferry RoadHanover Police received a call from a Hanover resident regarding a disturbing noise at the golf course. The resident heard a loud scream, which was described in the police report as, "not a scream for help, but more of a primeval scream."

September 23, 9:06 a.m.Etna RoadA Hanover resident called police to complain about a neighbor's dogs chasing deer in the area. Police went to the scene to speak with the owner of the dogs.

**The original version of this article incorrectly stated that the house manager of Sigma Delta sorority had called Hanover Police in response to two suspicious men outside the sorority's house. In fact, another student placed that call after seeing one suspicious individual. In addition, the article incorrectly stated that Hanover Police later found two suspects in the incident behind Collis Student Center. In fact, those students had been stopped by Safety and Security. Though one was initially a subject in the incident at Sigma Delta, neither are now subjects in that case.*
