Marijuana smokers in parking garage

An officer approached a parking structure on campus after receiving a reference from a Police Aide of two suspicious males. The officer saw two men appearing to be admiring the view from the top level of the parking garage. When they saw the patrol vehicle approaching them, they instantly started walking.

The officer stopped and spoke to the two men, one of whom appeared nervous. He had a freshly lit cigarette in his hand. As the officer checked their identifications, one of the men reached into his pockets, and the officer noticed a crinkling sound, like a plastic baggie.

He asked the male if there was anything in his pockets, to which he responded just his wallet and keys as he pulled them out. The officer asked the man to turn his pockets inside out. When the man did, there was a bag of marijuana in his right front pocket. The two men were sent to the Dean of Students’ Office.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet

An officer noticed a car with its driver’s side headlight out. He pulled the vehicle over, and the driver provided him with his registration and the insurance for the vehicle. The man who was driving told the officer he had misplaced his driver’s license. The officer asked for his name.

The record check did not return any matches for the name. The man then said, “”Okay, I’ll tell you my real name.”” He told the officer a second name with a different date of birth than the first one. The officer ran a records check of that name, and it came back stating he had a history of giving false names to the police.

The officer confirmed his identification as the second name after the man provided his identification card. The man was arrested for having a suspended license and for false reporting to the police. He was given a citation and released at the scene.
