Entry of the Week Thursday, October 18 11:30 a.m. A 22-year-old male student was stopped by a Northeastern University Division of Public Safety officer on Forsyth Street near the Northeastern School of Law renovation construction site because the student was walking down the middle of the street. The officer directed him to the sidewalk, but the student repeatedly refused to follow directions and made comments saying he was not going to follow them. The officer stopped the student, who will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution, and noted that he had been stopped several times before for being uncooperative with directions relating to pedestrian safety.
Wednesday, October 17 11 a.m. Northeastern University Division of Public Safety (NUPD) officers found two Boston English High School students, a male and a female, arguing loudly on Forsyth Street near Ruggles T Station.

Noon A 19-year-old female student reported leaving her cell phone out of sight for one minute as she was paying for lunch in the Curry Student Center. Her phone was gone from the counter when she reached for it.
2 p.m. Officers encountered two females fighting on the service road behind the Egan Research Center. They were Boston English High School students who had visited for a chaperoned tour and were sent home directly from campus.

Thursday, October 18 Noon A 20-year-old female student reported that she had been receiving harassing phone calls and text messages for the past few months, sometimes five to six times a day.

He will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution (OSCCR).
1 p.m. A 23-year-old female student reported that three days earlier, her cell phone was stolen from Shillman Hall.

The residents will be reported to OSCCR. The three visitors were sent off campus.
