Man confesses to wrong crime

A University of Arizona Police Department officer arrived to the Pueblo de la Cienga Residence Hall on March 29 at 1:53 a.m. after a student reported a theft.

The man told the officer that between nine and 12 books were taken from his desk along with a picture frame, two pictures and two envelopes. He said that he left the room on March 28 at 3 p.m. and when he returned on the next day at 1:15 a.m. he saw that the items were gone.

The man said that the items were all gifts from his ex-girlfriend and that she is in Tucson visiting from Yuma. He stated that his ex-girlfriend had recently met his roommate and thought maybe his roommate took the items and gave them to the woman.

When the officer got into the dorm room, he woke up the roommate. The officer asked him if he knew why he was there and the man stated, “”I think so.””

The officer told him to say what he thought he was there for and the man said, “”I have something illegal in my room.”” The man told the officer that he had marijuana in the room.

The officer asked the man to get the marijuana and turn it over. The man pulled a prescription bottle out from a storage container beneath his bag and handed it to the officer.

The man told the officer that he smokes marijuana occasionally, but never on campus. He said he bought it for $80 from a man beneath Arizona Stadium. He was cited and released for possession of marijuana.

When asked about the ex-girlfriend of his roommate and the stolen items, the man said that he let the woman into the room because she said she wanted to return a baseball hat and get some of her belongings.

He said that he did not think the woman was doing anything wrong because she said the items were hers.

The officer told the man whose belongings were stolen that the woman took the items. The man said he would have to think about whether or not he wanted to press charges.

The prescription bottle with the marijuana inside was placed into UAPD property as evidence and the total weight of the marijuana was 12.5 grams.

A Dean of Students Code of Conduct referral was also completed for the man with the marijuana.
