Police responded to Coronado Residence Hall, 822 E. Fifth St., on the suspicion that a resident was smoking marijuana in his room Aug. 31.

The officers were unsuccessful at making contact with the residents of the room after several minutes of knocking. A television was heard inside the room and the strong odor of marijuana was coming from inside it.

As police were about to conclude the investigation and leave, a resident from the room approached and asked why the officers were knocking on the door. The officers told the resident they were investigating the odor of marijuana coming from his room. The resident told the officers that he did not smoke marijuana and unlocked the door for them.

Inside the room, the roommate was attempting to hide behind a bed. The officers asked why he did not open the door. The resident told the officers, “”I was taking a shit.””

According to reports, the officers asked for identification and the resident consented. The officers asked if they could enter the room to talk. The resident said no and denied smoking marijuana and refused to consent to searching the room.

The resident called his father and after a discussion between them, he allowed the officers into the room. The resident handed over a black box containing marijuana and other drug paraphernalia. The officers advised the resident that he would be diverted to the dean of students.

Police met with a female student who was the victim of a hit-and-run at the Park Avenue Parking Garage, 1140 N. Park Ave. on Aug. 30.

The accident happened at the entrance to the parking garage when a blue 4-Runner driven by a female with blonde hair backed out of the entrance after she could not enter it.

Later that day, a female from Chi Omega called UAPD to report that she may have backed into a car at the Park Avenue Parking Garage. She told police that she never knew she backed into anyone. She added that she had a lot of boxes in her vehicle and that they fell over so she did not think there was a problem.
