Saturday, Jan. 28, 12:15 a.m. – An officer saw one of the Facilities Division vehicles, a registered mini-pick-up truck, driving down the sidewalk on Columbus Avenue. Since facilities vehicles are not typically on duty at that hour, the officer stopped the car. He found two students, one of whom worked part time for facilities. The student claimed he had had permission to use the vehicle, but he did not, and was using it to pick up a pizza order. Both students were reported to OSCCR, but the university will not press charges.

Sunday, Jan. 22, 4 a.m. - A student at 122 St. Stephen St. reported she went downstairs to let in a friend and found a strange, disoriented man wearing only underpants in the outer foyer of the building. He said he did not know where he lived. She decided to take pity on him and invited him into her apartment, where she and her friends dressed him, got his name and tried to determine if they had any mutual friends on Facebook. Unable to get in touch with anyone who knew the man, the students called NUPD. Officers determined the man was a 19-year-old student who lived in another part of the building. He admitted he was using ecstasy and was reported to OSCCR. NUPD counseled the students who let him into their apartment on safer options should they find a disoriented stranger in their foyer.
