Bentley College (compiled by Matt Wagner, The Vanguard)
Jan. 22 - 12:42 p.m.: Campus Police received a call from a residence in Forest Hall on their emergency line, but heard only noises sounding like a fax machine. When officers arrived, they determined that the noises were caused by the residents attempting to configure their Tivo.

Jan. 24 - 1:58 p.m.: Officers responded to the parking lot behind Slade Hall, where they had found a large black safe. The safe, weighing approximately 50 pounds, appeared to have been pried open, and the electronic lock mechanism was broken off. Due to a lack of information, and because no one has reported a safe missing, the case is considered closed at this time.

Jan. 26 - 3:50 a.m.: Campus Police responded to a fire alarm activation in Orchard North. As the residents were evacuating, officers investigated the cause of the alarm, which was caused when a resident of the second floor fell asleep while cooking pasta.

Jan. 27 - 1:44 a.m.: Campus Police responded to Kresge Hall for a reported odor of marijuana. Officers determined that the smell was emanating from a particular room and knocked on the door. The door was opened by a Bentley student with red, bloodshot eyes, who denied that he or his roommate had used marijuana. They refused to allow Campus Police to search the room, but officers observed numerous beer cans throughout the room and a burning candle, which were confiscated. Both residents will be charged with possession of a controlled substance, underage consumption of alcohol, and violation of college rules.

Jan. 27 - 2:14 a.m.: Campus Police was called to the third floor of Slade for a fight. When officers arrived, the fight was no longer in progress. After the involved students denied medical attention, officers took statements from each as to the causes of the fight. They determined that the fight was caused when an underage student asked another student to buy him alcohol. A third student purchased and delivered the alcohol, but the first student complained that he hadn't received proper change. A verbal argument ensued, which soon escalated into a physical confrontation in which one of the students attempted to choke another. At the time of press, the case was still under investigation.

Jan. 27 - 3:40 a.m.: Campus Police was called to Collins Hall, where a female student reported that her former boyfriend had ransacked her room while she was gone. She stated that he knew her combination, and Campus Police requested that a locksmith respond to change the combination overnight. The female stated that nothing appeared to be missing. Officers approached the male student, who appeared to be heavily intoxicated. Officers administered a field sobriety test, which he failed. He was taken into protective custody at Waltham Police Department, and will be judicially charged with protective custody, breaking and entering, and malicious behavior.
