Lax ladies allow search, get criminal MIP

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the Coronado Residence Hall on Sunday at 11:07 p.m. after someone reported smelling marijuana on the second floor.

The officer met with the Resident Assistant on duty and they patrolled the hallway. The smell was detected as coming from around one door frame on the second floor.

The officer could hear several girls inside the room giggling, and when he knocked on the door, the resident gave the officer permission to come inside.

When he entered the room he saw four girls and smelled a strong odor of marijuana.

The four women were questioned separately. Three women denied knowing about any marijuana and claimed they did not know why the room smelled.

The other woman said she smoked outside earlier that night, but would not say where or with whom.

Another officer was granted permission to search the room and found a 750 milliliter bottle of Three Olives Cherry Vodka under the resident’s desk. He also noticed a full 1.75 liter bottle of Smirnoff Vodka under her roommate’s desk.

The resident was cited and released on a criminal charge of minor in possession and a Code of Conduct report was referred to the Dean of Students.
