Coronado residents ignore police, get in trouble anyway

UAPD officers were dispatched to the Coronado Residence Hall on Nov. 17 at 12:15 a.m. in reference to a report of the strong odor of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. Upon arrival, officers met with a resident assistant who escorted them to a room on the third floor. Officers checked around the door frame and were able to positively identify that the smell was coming from that room.

They heard several voices inside of the room and knocked on the door. The voices stopped but nobody answered the door. The police continued knocking for several minutes but the occupants of the room refused to open the door and make contact with police. The RA gave police the names and dates of birth of the residents of the room. Based on the smell of marijuana and their refusal to answer the door, the residents were referred to the Dean of Students Office for Code of Conduct violations.
