Weed brownies lead to UMC visit

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the Coronado Residence Hall in reference to a woman having an allergic reaction to marijuana brownies.

The woman called UAPD Wednesday night at 10:44 p.m. to report the allergy. She said that earlier that night she bought three brownies that had marijuana in them from a man off campus for $10.

She had eaten two of the brownies and didn’t feel well. She also claimed that her tongue had gone numb.

The officer took the remaining brownie from her and asked if she knew where the man who sold her the brownies lived.

The woman stated he was a student who lived in the Colonia de La Paz Residence Hall. Once another officer received a search warrant to go through the man’s dorm room, the man was placed under arrest for having illegal contraband.

Tucson Fire Department responded to Coronado and told the woman that she needed to be transported to University Medical Center for treatment.

The woman refused to be taken by an ambulance. A friend volunteered to drive her, but when the woman started vomiting and yelling at her, she changed her mind and decided against it.

The officer drove the woman to the hospital, where she was admitted for marijuana ingestion. She was also cited and released.

The extra brownie, which tested positively for marijuana, was placed into property as evidence.

Two Code of Conduct reports were forwarded to the Dean of Students for both the woman who ate the brownies and the man who sold them to her.

Where there’s smoke … police will get warrants

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to the Pueblo de la Cienega Residence Hall on Nov. 15 at 2:18 a.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 a room on the first floor. The RA stated that while doing hourly rounds, the smell of burnt marijuana was detected. Officers knocked on the door and a man answered. He identified himself with an Illinois driver’s license and told police he was a resident of the room.

Officers asked the man if they could enter the room and he refused. He then asked officers why they were there and they responded that they could smell the strong odor of marijuana and it seemed to be coming from his room. The man stated that his girlfriend was inside and when she had arrived earlier she mentioned the smell as well, but he claimed to not know why the room smelled of marijuana. Officers asked the man if he had any marijuana in the room and he stated that he did not. Officers asked the man if he would consent to a search of the room and he stated that he would not.

Officers asked the man and his girlfriend to exit the room and sit outside. Officers requested a telephonic search warrant, which was granted at 4:10 a.m. A search of the room revealed a bag of marijuana and several items of paraphernalia, including rolling papers, lighters and a “blunt” cigar. The man was cited on charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was released on the scene and the incident has been referred to the Dean of Students Office
