Dorm dudes’ pipe taken by police

UAPD officers were dispatched to the Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall Sept. 22 at approximately 12:21 a.m. in response to a call from a resident assistant about the odor of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. When officers arrived, they met with the RA who led them to the room where the odor was coming from. Officers knocked on the door for several minutes before a man finally answered the door. Officers told the man why they were there and stated that they wanted to ask him some questions.

The man asked, “Can we talk about this tomorrow?” Officers told the man they needed to talk immediately and asked to be allowed into the room. The man agreed and officers entered. Inside the room, officers detected the odor of marijuana and questioned the man and his roommate. The men admitted to smoking marijuana earlier that day but claimed to have done so outside.

The men also claimed to have no more marijuana in the room, but one of the men produced a glass pipe containing marijuana residue. Both men admitted to using the pipe earlier in the day. Police referred the incident to the Dean of Students Office and the pipe has been placed into police property as evidence.
