Marijuana – March 13 (The Village)

UNFPD dispatched an officer to the second floor of Bldg. A in the Villages after an RA was concerned that a student was smoking marijuana in his room.

Upon arrival, the officer and the RA knocked on the door of the suspects suite. When the suspect answered the door, the RA asked him if he had been smoking marijuana, to which he replied “Yes.” She went on to ask if he had any left, to which he answered “yes, a little.”

The suspect allowed a search of his room, which turned up less than a gram of marijuana. The officer confiscated the marijuana, and placed it in the JSO Property Room, according to UPD.
