Forklift mishap

An officer was dispatched to the loading dock of the Biological Sciences building after a UNF employee hit a vehicle with a forklift on Sept. 26.

The employee said she was trying to turn the forklift to pick up a pallet in the loading dock area and she hit the back of a Ford Taurus. The vehicle belonged to another UNF employee who was unloading supplies in the loading dock.

Approximately $1,000 of damage was caused to the Taurus’ rear bumper but the forklift was not damaged.

On Sept. 27, an officer requested three UNF students be referred to Student Conduct after a search of an Osprey Crossings dorm room yielded 12.2 grams of marijuana and rolling papers.
The officer requested permission to search the room because of the smell of marijuana coming from it. Two residents consented to the search. There was also a guest in the room.
An officer also found the following items with marijuana residue: a glass bong, a glass container, two grinders, two plastic bottles, two pieces of rope, a vaporizer, an e-cigarette, a plastic bag, five lighters and a metal rod.

Lt. Dwayne Howard, UNFPD patrol commander, said officers determine if something has marijuana residue based on smell.

“We don’t actually test marijuana residue unless there is a large amount,” he said.

According to Howard, the items were probably used to smoke marijuana or were stored around marijuana and adopted the smell.
