On Halloween night, Mirror Staff Writer Dan Leitao spent the night with Public Safety officers Justin Walker and James Cavallaro. Throughout the night:
A student walking to the townhouses from the suites was seen with a Busch light bottle. When asked what he had in his hands, he admitted to the officer he was carrying an unopened beer can. He then informed the officer that he would be turning 21 in three weeks. The officer had him dump the contents of the can.
Around 11:40 p.m., a student was stopped by a Residence Assistant for having a open container in Campion Hall. While the RA was taking his information down, another student seized the beer out of his hand, dashed into the bathroom and drank the remains of the can. The student then ran away from the RA and was not found again until the RAs were on rounds later in the night.
The student then claimed that his name was James and he was a student at Sacred Heart. When Public Safety officers arrived on the scene, he continued to claim to be a Sacred Heart student. After another 20 minutes the student said he was going to come clean, admitting that he was a student at Fairfield and he thought he would get in less trouble if he said he was from another school.
The two Public Safety officers exchanged glances. He then said his StagCard was in another room. After retrieving his StagCard from a locked room, the officers then directed the student to the Health Center and instructed him to remain out of Campion Hall for the rest of the night.
A few hours later, the same student was seen outside Campion Hall after being released from the Heath Center.
The officer then pulled over his cruiser near the student and stood outside talking to me for roughly 10 minutes, allowing the students and his friends to realize that Public Safety had taken notice of him. The student then proceeded to enter Campion Hall, and was followed by the officer. He then walked backwards down the stairs into the officer. Finally, the student was asked to exit the building with the officer and was told a final time not to enter Campion Hall. He was not seen again for the rest of the night.
While driving through the townhouses, a student dressed as Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz” was seen walking with a Solo cup. When the officer asked her to dump the solo cup, she dropped it on the ground and the contents of the cup then splashed up onto her.
Later that night around 1:38 a.m., friends of a severely intoxicated student called Public Safety to ask for assistance. It was difficult to decipher how intoxicated she was as her friends were unsure how much she had drank during the night.
Although Public Safety was anticipating a much more eventful Halloween night, they still had some interesting stories to last the night.
