A tough one to explain
[Pic]
Imagine you're a freshman in college. You've finally met your roommate, and the people living on your floor. You make some friends, including some lovely females who live across the quad. A few weeks later, you have to make this phone call to your parents:
"Mom, Dad, I have some bad news. ... I've been arrested. ... No, wait, wait, wait. There's more. ... I've also been kicked out of school."
It is then that you are forced to explain how the police pinched you and your dumbass roommate:
A pair of former Northeastern University freshmen are facing drug and other charges after prosecutors said one of them leaned out his dorm window on Sunday and loudly told a woman in the dorm opposite his that he and his roommate were selling pot.
Two plain clothes Boston officers in the building overheard the conversation, made their way up to a second floor dorm room where they arrested Michael Emery, 18, of Haverhill and Matthew Ferrante, 18, of North Andover after finding about four ounces of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, including a scale, and several bottles of alcohol in the room, the Suffolk district attorney's office said.
"If you're looking for weed, my roommate Ferrante has some for sale," Emery allegedly said out the window, according to the district attorney's office.
...
"They are no longer students here," university spokeswoman Laura Shea said.
