They never learn

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Hopi Residence Hall in reference to a strong smell of marijuana on Friday at around 1 p.m.

An officer spoke with a resident assistant of the hall, who said he could smell marijuana coming from one of the dorm rooms.

After the officer knocked on the student’s door a few times, the student answered and agreed to let the officer enter the room and ask a few questions.

Once inside the room, the officer could smell an even stronger odor of marijuana and questioned the student about the smell.

The student, identified by a Connecticut driver’s license, said he did not know why the room smelled. He also refused to let the officer search the room.

Another officer arrived at the dorm and was able to get permission from the student to search the room.

The officer found a grinder and a smoking pipe in the student’s desk.

The officer placed the student under arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia. The student was cited and released.

The grinder and pipe were placed into property as evidence. The student was referred to the Dean of Students.
