Tales from the Police Blotter: Cagefight at Au Bon Pain
The Harvard Police Log steps into the ring today for a bout with the reigning champ of dramatic renditions of campus crime, the Dartmouth Police Blotter. We open with a quick one-two punch in the mean aisles of Cambridge's Au Bon Pain:
February 6
4:43 p.m.-Officers were dispatched to Au Bon Pain to a report of an assault in progress. Officers arrived and spoke to the reporting party who stated that when they attempted to sit down at a table they were threatened by another individual. The reporting party states that the individual then kicked them and struck them in the knee.
February 18
7:01 a.m.-Officers dispatched to Au Bon Pain to a report that an individual reported threw a chair at another individual. Officers arrived and searched the area for the individual with negative results.
Hey, we've all been there, a pair of venti mocha latte frappuginas in our hands, impatiently tapping our feet for the obnoxious dude not even eating anything to quit jonesing the wifi in the corner seat by the window. Infuriating! Almost as infuriating as trying to find a toilet at Lowell House:
February 12
2:46 p.m.-Officers were dispatched to Lowell House to take report of suspicious activity. Officer arrived and spoke to the reporting party who stated that an unknown individual(s) placed feces in their desk drawer. There were no suspicious individuals seen in the area at the time of the incident.
And what, pray tell, would constitute a "suspicious individual" in these circumstances? Actually, don't tell. We don't want to know.

You’ve got nothing on me. Harvard? Psh. “Police responded to the scene where a nerd, alone in the corner, was shoving his nose in a book….”
