Harvard suspends prof arrested for firing pellet gun near synagogue on Yom Kippur

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)

Harvard University suspended Carlos Portugal Gouvea after the visiting law professor was arrested for allegedly firing a pellet gun near Temple Beth Zion, an “independent, inclusive” congregation in Brookline, Mass., on Yom Kippur.

A Harvard Law School spokesman told The Harvard Crimson, a student paper, that the visiting professor “has been placed on administrative leave, as the school seeks to learn more about this matter.”

The professor was arrested on Oct. 1 on charges of disorderly conduct, vandalism, disturbing the peace and illegal discharge of a BB gun, according to a report which the Brookline Police Department shared with JNS.
