It was law and disorder at Boston’s Northeastern University recently.
Northeastern’s School of Law majorly disappointed 205 applicants by mistakenly sending them acceptance letters, according to Boston.com.
The report said the acceptance letters even included a Northeastern ID number. Later that day, many received emails saying they had been accepted mistakenly due to a technical glitch. The offers were rescinded.
“Due to a technical error, 205 current applicants to the School of Law received an erroneous email notifying them of their acceptance into next year’s class,” Northeastern said in a statement.
The school said that the email was also sent to 3,930 applicants who had applied a year ago. “While many of those applicants have already matriculated at Northeastern or another law school, they also received the clarification email,” the university wrote.
The Northeastern University School of Law’s current first-year class has 234 students, chosen from 3,877 applicants, according to Boston.com.

COYOTE UGLY
And you think we have coyote problems in Toronto!
Some California schoolchildren were given a fright when a coyote made its way inside their school and hid in a bathroom.
According to Riverside County Animal Services, the coyote was found on the campus of Jurupa Unified’s Mission Middle School shortly before classes began last Monday.
School staff called for an animal services officer, who found the coyote hiding out in a bathroom stall, behind a toilet, according to KKTV.com.
The coyote, believed to be around nine months old, was captured and then released in a rural area.
Riverside is east of Los Angeles.

FAKE KIDNAPPING PLOT GOES AWRY
A California woman who faked her own kidnapping to get back at a former boyfriend was sentenced last week to 18 months in prison.
Sherri Papini, 40, pleaded guilty last spring to staging the abduction and lying to the FBI about it. As part of a plea bargain, she is required to pay more than (US)$300,000 in restitution, according to NPR.

The plot resulted in a three-week search across multiple states before Papini showed up on U.S. Thanksgiving Day in 2016.
Probation officers and Papini’s attorney had recommended that she spend a month in custody and seven months in supervised home detention, while prosecutors wanted her to serve the eight months behind bars. But Senior U.S. District Judge William Shubb said he opted for an 18-month sentence in order to deter others.
The judge said he considered the seriousness of the offence and “the sheer number of people who were impacted.” They included law enforcement officers who searched for her, the community that believed her for four years, those who lived in fear because of her fake story of being abducted by two Hispanic women, and the Latino community that was falsely viewed with suspicion,” added Shubb, according to NPR.
“The nation is watching,” said the judge. “They need to be sent the right message …We have to make sure crime doesn’t pay.”

TOO MUCH BIRTHDAY FUN
A Memphis woman was arrested earlier in September after allegedly firing shots from a car window while half-naked, reports said.
An officer said he saw a woman in a moving white Hyundai Elantra point a black handgun out the passenger side window and fire two shots at an “unknown object,” according to KFVS.
After backup was called, officers arrested 23-year-old Keirra Welch and located a Glock 17 on the car’s passenger side floorboard, according to the report. Welch told police she was celebrating her birthday.
Welch was charged with possession of a handgun while intoxicated, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, and possession of marijuana.
