A Resident Assistant (RA) in Smith Hall heard noise coming from a room where it appeared students were playing drinking games. A Northeastern University Department of Public Safety (NUPD) officer spoke with the 20-year-old resident and his 19-year-old guest but could not determine what was happening because the students were uncooperative. The student will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution (OSCCR).

Boston Police responded to a report of an assault at 103 Gainsborough St. where a party was being held. According to police, an older neighbor in the building had come out of his apartment to check on glass that had broken in the hallway. One of the partygoers shouted obscenities and threats at the other residents of the building. NUPD has identified this person as a student who recently withdrew from the university.

During a follow-up investigation on a previous assault incident in Stetson West, NUPD identified an 18-year-old student who had bought alcohol for a party using fake identification. He will be reported to OSCCR. The ID was sent to the department of motor vehicles and he may face criminal charges.

A proctor at 407 Huntington Ave. called NUPD to report a fight outside the building.

The 19-year-old assailant will be reported to OSCCR for assault and drinking underage.
