Semi-conscious

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for minor in possession in body outside of Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall on Nov. 23 at 11:35 p.m.

Two UAPD officers saw a UA student laying on the sidewalk by Graham-Greenlee surrounded by about 10 people, who dispersed when the officers approached. The student was semi-conscious, had vomited on herself and smelled like alcohol. Tucson Fire Department met the officers at the scene.

The student had bloodshot eyes and her speech was slurred. She told officers she had been drinking vodka by herself in her dorm. She said she didn’t need assistance, but she wasn’t able to stand up by herself.

TFD determined she needed further medical attention and she was taken to the University of Arizona Medical Center.

Human fountain

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for minor in possession of alcohol in Graham-Greenlee on Nov. 24 at around 1:10 a.m.

Two UAPD officers responded to a report of a drunk student in a hallway. The student was found hovering over a drinking fountain where he had been vomiting.

The student was unsteady on his feet and had bloodshot, watery eyes. The student’s friend told officers the student had been drinking vodka that night at an off-campus party.

The student’s friend took him to his dorm and his roommate said he would be home the rest of the night. The student was assigned to complete a diversion program through the Dean of Students Office.

Honesty is the best policy

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia on Nov. 26 at 11:01 p.m.

A UAPD officer met with a resident assistant in Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall in reference to a smell of marijuana coming from one of the dorm rooms, the resident of the room however, was in another room across the hall.

The officer found the student and asked to speak with her in her room.

The student asked the officer if being honest would benefit her before agreeing to let the officer into her room. Once inside her room, the student handed the officer a small Ziploc bag with gold skulls that had marijuana inside.

The student said she buys marijuana from another student on campus and regularly smokes it with her friend, adding that she usually replaces the tobacco in Swisher Sweets cigars with marijuana.

She said there weren’t any other drug-related items in the room, but the officer found a small cigar that looked like it had marijuana in it.

Because the student was 17 years old, the officer contacted her father. The student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office and the bag of marijuana and the cigar were submitted to UAPD evidence.
