Woman questioned about marijuana odor

UAPD officers were dispatched to the Coronado Residence Hall on Oct. 6 at 7:17 p.m. in reference to a report of the odor of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. Upon arrival, officers met with a resident assistant who led them to the sixth floor and told them that during an hourly floor check, the odor of marijuana was detected coming from one of the rooms. Once near the room, police also detected the odor of marijuana. Before officers could contact the room’s owner, a resident opened the door and was attempting to leave before she asked police if there was a problem. Officers told the woman why they were there. The woman stated that she had only recently returned to the room and though she did not smoke marijuana, she was sure that her roommate did. The woman called her roommate and asked her to return to the dorm and speak with police. When the woman returned, she invited officers inside the room and they asked her if she had any contraband in the room. The woman produced a package of rolling papers and a small container of marijuana that was hidden under her bed. Police confiscated the papers and the marijuana and referred the incident to the Dean of Students Office.
