Coronado residents lose their own name game

Two women were diverted to the Dean of Students Office on April 27 at 11:29 p.m.

Police responded to the Coronado Residence Hall in reference to the smell of marijuana. When they arrived, police knocked on the door where the odor was coming from, but no one answered even though police heard voices from inside the room. A woman then walked out of the door next to the one police were knocking on. They asked her what her name was and she said one of the names that were on a nametag outside of the room. They asked her which room she lived in and she told them it was the one next to the door they were knocking on. After more questioning, she admitted that she lived in the room they were knocking on.

The woman told her friend who was inside to open the door. As soon as police entered, they reported smelling a strong odor of marijuana. The women admitted that they had smoked marijuana outside the room approximately 15 minutes prior to police arrival. When police asked if either woman had any illegal items, one woman told them that she had put a pipe in a purple bag behind the bed. Police continued to search the room for other contraband. Next to the fridge, they found a bottle of Bacardi Rum that had one-eighth of its contents.

The rum and pipe were confiscated. One woman was referred to the Dean of Students for possession of drug paraphernalia and the other was referred for being a minor in possession of alcohol.
