Northeastern

Goofus and Gallant, Criminal Edition

Well, we haven't had a good Northeastern party story lately. Boston Police report on an alleged Goofus at a boisterous bash around 3 this morning at 3 Folsom St. on Mission Hill.

When the squad cars arrived, most people left, but, police say, this one dude began mouthing off and refusing to tell them who he was. Even still, police say, they let him go. Then officers heard somebody banging on the door - along with a chorus of other residents complaining about it. Dude!

Officers then told the suspect that if he did not stop banging on the door he would be placed under arrest for being a Disorderly Person. As officers were going back in the apartment, the suspect pushed the door striking the officers.

So now he gets to plead innocent in Roxbury District Court to assault and battery on a police officer and disturbing the peace.

Criminal Gallant is a South Boston teen arrested yesterday evening for allegedly stealing a woman's wallet at the Shaw's at 370 Western Ave. in Brighton. When oficers found him on Lincoln Street and radioed to have the victim brought over, he allegedly told police:

"That's me! I'm the suspect. I took the lady's wallet. It's in my pocket."

The stupid parking ban in the Fenway

Dave Alpert is one grumpy Fenway resident this morning, what with city towtrucks pulling cars away at the crack of dawn today (well, 8 a.m.), the better to give the tactical units room to move in on the hordes of drunken college students the city expects after the Super Bowl:

... So, why ban the cars? The cars aren't the ones drinking 40s, making noise, raping and pilaging.

Why not just ban the Northearstern students? Not that I think the Northeastern students are bad kids. But, obviously, the police believe they are guilty until proven innocent. Therefore, they are punishing the entire neighborhood. I live in a project building with hard working families, elderly and working stiffs. There are no undergrads here. The neighborhood is full of people like us, and we are continuously made to suffer. I thought collective punishment was against the law in this country. ...

Green Line fare-evader crackdown

Kira reports:

... Yesterday when I was boarding the Green Line at Northeastern around 4 pm, I witnessed several people get yanked off the train (after they boarded through the back doors) by MBTA guys demanding that they hand over their Charlie Cards for validation. When they said they didn't have Charlie Cards, their IDs were taken and it looked like they got written some sort of ticket. ...

A student getting to know Boston better

I've certainly been posting a lot of stories of late about BU and Northeastern students behaving badly. Of course, they really represent a minority of the students there. Al DeLuca is a Northeastern student who's blogging about getting to know Boston better - and who is trying to get other newcomers to blog about their experiences:

... I am a college student thriving to shed the transplant college student persona automatically placed on any young adults wandering the city. While accurate at times, this stereotype doesn’t apply to us all and there are some that really want to contribute to the fabric of this city and become long term residents even following school.

Here at the blog, you'll get stories of our exploits around the city as we experience it for the first time. If you live in the city, it will be a great romp down memory lane, as you can relate to our first time experiences, if you are from out of town or any of the suburbs and are thinking about moving to the city, well then this is also a great place for you, as it will give you an idea as to what lays ahead. ...

Polite Northeastern students

Miss Von Schtoop reports that her student neighbors not only told her in advance they'd be having a party but they tried to keep things under control:

... And yeah, they were loud. But I think because I was expecting it I was able to sleep through most of it. Unfortunately a couple of loud & rowdy party goers went berserk in the back yard crushing cans and shouting at around 2:30 which woke me up.

But from the sounds of it the hosts roped them back in pretty quick. I managed to roll back over to sleep. ...

Northeastern students get very special invitations

Specifically, to answer charges in Roxbury District Court: Boston Police report busting up three loud parties within an hour on Mission Hill early this morning, arresting a total of 10 Northeastern students; nine on charges of "being keepers of a disorderly house" and one on a charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol.

The arrests came the night after police busted up another party, at 1540 Tremont St., where police arrested three 20somethings on those disorderly-house charges:

On arrival, officers observed approximately 15 to 20 individuals standing on the rear porch, drinking alcoholic beverages. After gaining entry into the apartment, officers were confronted by an individual who yelled, "Who let you in?"

Northeastern students learn why they should keep it down

Ah, freshmen! The Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports two Northeastern freshmen got a quick civics lesson Sunday when a plainclothes police officer allegedly heard one of them yelling out a second-floor window that his roomie had started up a business:

"If you're looking for weed, my roommate Ferrante has some for sale," Emery allegedly said as he rigged a pulley system that would bring a pair of empty plastic bottles up and down between his dorm and the one directly above it.

In addition to drug-related items, officers also found several bottles of liquor that, as the DA's office notes, the two 18-year-olds were not of legal age to possess. The two were released on their own recognizance by a Roxbury District Court judge.
