4 Boston U. Students Jailed Over Parties

Four students at Boston University have been jailed over loud parties at their off-campus house, The Boston Globe reported. While police in many localities regularly shut down student parties, jail isn't typical. In this case, the students were cited for one party and given a warning that additional problems would be taken seriously. The party that sent the students to jail took place last month, and when authorities arrived at 1 a.m., students slammed the door to the house in their face, and locked it, while people (many of them not of legal drinking age) started jumping out of other doors and windows. When police made it inside, they found more than 1,000 beer cans.
