Northeastern Crime Log

By Matt Nielsen

Crime Log entries are selected from Northeastern’s Division of Public Safety reports.

Monday, October 31 2:30 p.m. A homeless 61-year-old male was transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center after he was found intoxicated on Forsyth Street.

7:30 p.m. Police received a call from the manager of Wollaston’s at West Village reporting a group of young teens had shoplifted a number of egg cartons. Several calls were received soon after reporting a group of people throwing eggs on Ruggles Street.

8 p.m. A 23-year-old female student reported an ongoing dispute with her 20-year-old female roommate, and claimed it had escalated to the point her roommate was sending threatening instant messages. They have since been separated.

Tuesday, November 1 Midnight A 20-year-old female student reported she received harassing e-mails from a girlfriend of one of her male friends.

3 p.m. Several students reported their backpacks missing after leaving them in the Curry Student Center while they attended class.

Wednesday, November 2 1 a.m. A male staff member reported he had been conned out of money. He reported a middle-aged man approached him and asked for some money to help repair a flat tire so he could get his son home. The staff member obliged and gave the man between $20 and $30. The man then walked down the street and turned the corner. The staff member then saw him walk back in the opposite direction. He confronted the man about the location of his vehicle, and the man told him he had decided to go to the gas station instead. The staff member demanded his money back, but was refused. The man had given his real name, and when the police learned it they discovered this man had been caught before for the same offense. Elliot Davis frequently preys on staff members, but sometimes students as well. He asks for money, but leaves his name and some sort of collateral so the victim believes he will come pay them back. He is also well dressed and articulate. Police are seeking him for questioning.

8:30 a.m. A 22-year-old female reported she was assaulted by two 15-year-old girls while trying to use a computer in Ryder Hall. When the student asked one of the girls to vacate one of the computers in the lobby, the girl and her friend became disorderly and began to make loud verbal threats. After one of the girls threw a chair at her, she called the police. Both girls were arrested for disorderly conduct, trespassing and assault. They were arraigned the next day at Boston Juvenile Court.

Thursday, November 3 1 a.m. A 24-year-old female student reported being harassed by other female students regarding a conflict within her sorority. The Office of Student Activities has been asked to mediate.

1 p.m. A 20-year-old female student reported she lost her cell phone in Davenport A the night before.

3 p.m. A 22-year-old male reported he lost his Husky Card and the $125 on the card had been spent.

4 p.m. A Resident Assistant (RA) in Burstein Hall discovered a pipe and marijuana while doing room inspections. The two 19-year-old male residents will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution (OSCCR).

10:30 p.m. Officers went to Kennedy Hall to speak with an 18-year-old male regarding a previous incident. While there, the officer confiscated three pipes, a bong and a small amount of marijuana. The student will be reported to OSCCR.

Friday, November 4 1:30 a.m. A 19-year-old female student reported she was walking alone on St. Stephen Street when two juveniles on bikes rode by and attempted to steal her backpack. They failed and sped away.

8:30 a.m. Officers found Steven Mowring, who has already been arrested twice this semester for trespassing, using a computer on the second floor of the Curry Student Center. He had two outstanding warrants for failing to attend his previous hearings. The 21-year-old was arrested again and arraigned the following day at Roxbury District Court.

2 a.m. Officers saw one 17-year-old female student helping an 18-year-old female student walk down the street. The 18-year-old was without shoes and appeared to have lost her purse. The 17-year-old reported she had lost them on the way home because she was intoxicated. They had attended a Mission Hill party and after they left they discovered the MBTA was no longer operating, they decided to walk. The 18-year-old was transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and will be reported to OSCCR. The 17-year-old was escorted around in an unsuccessful attempt to locate her friend’s belongings.

Noon A 19-year-old male resident of Davenport A reported the handle had been broken off the door to his apartment. A hammer and a knife were found in the hall. The incident is under investigation.

11 p.m. An RA reported two 18-year-old female students were assaulted outside Smith Hall and were staying in Loftman Hall. Officers responded and interviewed the girls, who reported they had left a party at Smith Hall but were confronted outside by the resident who threw the party. He accused them of breaking his bong, and when they denied it, he struck them. The officer talked to the 18-year-old resident, who admitted throwing a party that served alcohol to minors and “pushing” the two girls in question. He said he felt justified in his action because they had broken his property. Criminal charges may be filed against him and he will be reported to OSCCR.

Sunday, November 6 2 a.m. An anonymous caller reported several ceiling tiles in Stetson East had been vandalized. They were replaced to avoid a fire hazard.
