At approximately 12:34 a.m. on Feb. 24,  an officer from the University Police Department was dispatched to a residence hall regarding the smell of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. The reporting officer arrived at the occupancy in question to find loud music coming from the room. There was also a strong odor of marijuana that appeared to be coming from that area. The officer knocked on the door, and a male opened the door. Three other males were in the room as well. Upon searching the room, the officer found drug paraphernalia. The resident of the room was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and taken to the Lafayette County Detention Center.

At approximately 12:40 a.m. on Feb. 22, the University Police Department was dispatched to a female residence hall because of an intoxicated subject causing a disturbance in the lobby. Upon arrival, the responding officer spoke with the person in question, and she exhibited classic signs of intoxication. The female was incoherent and could not respond properly to the officer’s questions. She was arrested for public drunkenness and transported to the Lafayette County Detention Center.
