Hole-y forbidden fruit in Coronado

An on-duty resident assistant at Coronado Residence Hall called UAPD after she smelled marijuana coming from the hallway on the second floor.

The officer knocked on the door of the room where the smell was the strongest and a resident answered. The officer reported the woman as having red and watery eyes.

The woman allowed the officer in the room where the smell of burnt marijuana became stronger.

She was asked if she had been smoking in the room and the woman said she had smoked earlier with some friends, but would not say with whom.

The officer asked if she had any pot in the room and she pulled a baggie with marijuana inside out of bottom desk drawer.

The resident told the officer that she had bought the marijuana from a man she did not know downtown for $10.

After reading the woman her rights the officer searched her side of the dorm room for any other suspicious things. He found a pink and blue glass smoking pipe, an apple with burnt reside on the top and two holes in the side and a plastic bottle covered with a sock, with a tissue inside and the bottom cut off. The woman told the officer the apple and the bottle were also used for smoking marijuana.

The woman was cited and released for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The items found in the room were entered into evidence and a Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students.
