Dance with Mary Jane in the middle lane

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers pulled over a car that had been driving in the middle of two lanes and turned the wrong way onto a one-way street on July 7 around 1 a.m. When the officers approached the driver, there was a strong odor of marijuana and alcohol coming from the car. The driver told officers she had only taken a sip of alcohol. She had red, watery eyes and slurred speech. The woman stumbled and staggered when she got out of the car. The officers conducted various field sobriety tests and arrested the woman on charges of minor in possession, minor in possession while operating a motor vehicle, DUI to the slightest degree and possession of marijuana.

Suspicious package, UAPD don’t mix

On the morning of July 7, a UAPD officer responded to a call from an employee at the Space Sciences building about a suspicious package. The employee had received a manila envelope in her mailbox, with her name and the instructions “”mix with water”” written on it. The employee had opened the package and found a plastic bag with white powder inside. She told the officer she had been on vacation and did not know when the package had arrived. She said she did not recognize the handwriting and did not know of anyone who would want to threaten or scare her. The package was taken back to UAPD to be destroyed.
