University of Arizona Campus Blotter August 2013­May 2014

All information via The Daily Wildcat August 27 On Aug. 22 at approximately 3:40 a.m., a UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students for a Minor in Bodily Possession of Alcohol, after a UAPD officer noticed him sleeping in an enclosed trash area on campus.

The officer was unable to verbally wake the man and had to shake him to wake him up. The man smelled strongly of alcohol and struggled to provide his name and identification.

When the student stood up, the officer noticed he was swaying and had to lean against the wall for support. His eyes were also watery and bloodshot. The officer read the student his Miranda rights and asked him if he had been drinking. The student said yes and added that he had been drinking vodka.

He also stated that he had been drinking at a residence hall with friends, but he refused to give any names or who provided the alcohol. He said after drinking he needed to “walk it off,” but had become lost and sat down to get his bearings. The officer diverted him to the Dean of Students and took him back to his dorm.

August 28 Three UA students were referred to the Dean of Students for code of conduct violations on Aug. 22, after a UAPD officer smelled marijuana coming from a dorm room while doing rounds with a resident assistant at approximately 10:30 p.m. As the officer approached the room, the door opened and a student tried to leave.

The officer informed him that he smelled what he believed to be marijuana, and asked the student to step back inside.

In the room were three more students and the officer asked who lived in the room. A girl said she did, but that her roommate was out with friends. The officer then asked if there was any marijuana in the room, and all four students denied that there was. The officer requested identification from the students and observed signs and symptoms of marijuana use on three of them.

One student said they had smoked marijuana outside of the residence hall, but that it was all gone. The officer explained to the students the dangers of drug and alcohol use, the laws in Arizona and rules regarding drugs and alcohol in residence halls on campus. He then sent code of conduct violations to the Dean of Students for the students who exhibited signs of drug use.

August 29 A UA student was cited and released for possession of marijuana on Aug. 26, after he drove by a University of Arizona Police Department officer in the Main Gate Parking Garage at approximately 10:25 a.m.

The officer smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the rolled down driver’s side window when the car passed him.

The officer followed the vehicle on bike until it parked, then told the driver why he had stopped him and asked for identification.

The officer didn’t find anything when he searched the student’s vehicle, but when he searched the student, he felt what seemed to be a bag of some kind near the groin area. The officer asked the student what he had concealed in his shorts and the student said,

“It’s the marijuana.”

The officer then told the student that he really did not want to unzip his shorts to retrieve it, so the student unzipped his shorts and removed an 8” by 8” plastic Ziploc bag filled with a substance he said was marijuana.

When questioned, the student told the officer that he had had the marijuana for about a week, and that he had paid $600 for it. He would not say where he bought it or from whom,only that he had paid $600 because “it was some good shit.”

He also told the officer that he usually smokes at home, though he sometimes smokes before working out at the Student Recreation Center.

The student was cited and released and referred to the dean of students. The marijuana, which weighed approximately 59.9 grams, was placed into evidence.

A UA student was arrested on charges of minor in possession on Aug. 26, after a UAPD officer noticed her being removed from the back of a vehicle parked near Tyndall Avenue while conducting traffic at approximately 11:15 p.m.

The student was having difficulties standing on her own and was supported by two of her friends. When the officer spoke with the student to conduct a welfare check, she said she was OK and had been drinking a little. She said she lived in a nearby residence hall and was being escorted home.

While speaking with the student, the officer noticed she had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and smelled strongly of alcohol.

When asked her age, she said she was 18 years old.

She told the officer that she had been drinking hard liquor at an off­campus party, but refused to identify where the party was or who provided the alcohol. Shortly after, she said she had been drinking at a fraternity, but then said again that she had actually been drinking off­campus, not at a fraternity. Due to her condition, the officer requested Student Emergency Medical Services to evaluate her, and it was determined she didn’t need any further medical attention.

The officer arrested her on charges of underage drinking and escorted her to her residence hall, where they were met by a resident assistant. She was cited and released into the resident assistant’s care, and a code of conduct violation was completed.

August 30 A UA student was cited and released for possession of paraphernalia at approximately 4:46 p.m. on Monday, after a resident assistant in his residence hall reported smelling burning marijuana coming from his room.

An officer from the University of Arizona Police Department arrived at the dorm and was escorted to the student’s room. After knocking on the door, the officer heard the clanking of glass, and requested the door be opened by the resident.

The clanking stopped and one of the four occupants opened the door.

The officer asked who lived in the room and was then granted permission to enter.

He then informed them that he wanted to question them about the odor of marijuana, and read all of them their Miranda rights.

The student who lived in the room informed the officer that he had smoked his remaining marijuana in his room at approximately 3 p.m., before going to the Student Recreation Center to work out.

He also stated there was no additional marijuana in the room.

When the officer asked the student to give him the paraphernalia, the student went to the closet and produced a sports bag containing a glass bong approximately one foot in length, five 16 ounce bottles of isopropyl alcohol, three 10 ounce bottles of Newport butane glass replacement canisters, six rubber cases, a small glass jar, a toilet paper roll, filter paper and a brown bag.

The brown bag also contained a glass tube with a golden color resin. The student stated that no one else had smoked marijuana in the room, or owned any of the paraphernalia.

He was cited and released for possession of paraphernalia and referred to the Dean of Students for a code of conduct violation.

September 3 Two UA students were diverted to the Dean of Students office for underage drinking, on Aug. 26 at approximately 10:52 p.m., after a UAPD officer spotted them staggering across Park Avenue.

The officer contacted the students and had them sit on the curb before speaking with them. The students had bloodshot and watery eyes, and the officer could smell alcohol on their breath.

The officer identified them and read them their Miranda rights before the students told the officer that they were coming from a fraternity party and returning to their residence hall. They admitted to drinking alcohol in their dorm, and the officer diverted them to the Dean of Students office.

September 4 Three UA students were arrested after an officer from the University of Arizona Police Department observed them huddled together holding cans near Sixth Street and Park Avenue at approximately 12:10 a.m. on Monday.

The officer drove by the group to get a closer look at what they were holding, at which time one of the students threw his cans over the wall of a nearby residence. The other two left their cans on a low wall in front of the residence and the three began to walk away.

3

The officer approached the group and asked them to take a seat on the curb so he could ask them some questions.

The first student admitted she had been drinking Keystone Light, which she had gotten from a party that she and her friends had gone to earlier. When she saw the officer approaching, she left her beer on the wall of the residence, she said.

The second student said he had drunk about five or six cans of Keystone Light, but said he had gotten the beer from someone in his dorm.

The third student told the officer that he would only answer certain questions. He said he had drank about two cans of beer that evening, and that someone at a gas station had bought the beer for them.

The officer could smell alcohol on two of the students’ breath as they spoke, but none of the three submitted to a portable breath test.

After questioning the group, the officer arrested one student on charges of minor in possession and criminal littering. The two students who smelled of alcohol were arrested on charges of minor in possession, minor in possession in body and criminal littering.

All three were cited and released from the scene, and the officer disposed of the cans the students had left in front of the nearby residence and in the yard.

September 5 A UA student was arrested and transported to University of Arizona Medical Center Monday night, after a UAPD officer was dispatched to a residence hall in reference to an intoxicated person bent over a toilet at approximately 9:30 p.m.

When the officer arrived to the residence hall, student emergency medical services were already on scene evaluating the student in the restroom.

Tucson Fire Department arrived at the same time as the officer.

The officer was provided with the student’s driver’s license, before medical personnel brought the student out of the restroom and into a dorm room, where the student continued to lean over a small trash bin.

The student stated that he had “at least seven shots,” though he did not know where he came from and said he woke up with medical personnel surrounding him in the restroom.

The officer noted that the student had bloodshot and watery eyes, smelled of alcohol, slurred his speech, had a staggering gait and rambling speech.

The student was able to recover slightly after vomiting and staggered down the hallway to the elevators. The officer advised the student he was being arrested and he was able to sign his citation for an underage person with alcohol in body. The student was taken to UAMC.

September 6 A UA student was arrested for minor in possession on Tuesday, after a UA community service officer witnessed four males attempting to conceal liquor in the back of a vehicle, while driving through a residence hall parking lot at approximately 6:19 p.m.

The individuals then entered the residence hall carrying several bags of groceries. However, the vehicle’s lights were still on, indicating that someone might still be in the vehicle.

A UAPD officer arrived at the residence hall and spoke with the driver of the car, a UA student, and observed a 30­pack of Coors Light sitting in plain view in the back seat.

The officer confirmed that the driver was underage, and told him that someone had reported seeing liquor in his vehicle.

The student told the officer he didn’t know if there was any liquor, because he had taken a group of people shopping to Target and CVS Pharmacy. He then opened the back of the vehicle and the officer also found a bottle of Skyy Vodka and Southern Comfort in CVS bags. The officer then asked the student to contact the people he took to the store, and have them return to the vehicle.

The first student to speak with the officer said a friend of his had gone into CVS, but he did not know what he had purchased. The officer asked him to contact the friend, and have him come to the parking lot.

When the friend arrived, also a UA student, the officer informed him that he knew he had gone to purchase alcohol from CVS. The officer read him his Miranda rights and asked him what he had purchased, as well as where his fake identification card was located.

The student admitted he purchased the Coors Light, Skyy and Southern Comfort, and that he had cut up his fake ID and thrown it away when he heard the officer was looking for him.

The officer told the student that because of his honesty, he would not be charged for the fake ID but would be cited and released for minor in possession.

A code of conduct violation was forwarded to the Dean of Students.

***

A UA student was cited and released for possession of marijuana on Tuesday at approximately 10:35 p.m., after two UAPD officers responded to a call regarding the smell of marijuana coming from a dorm room.

Upon arriving to the scene, officers met with a resident assistant who escorted them to the room. An officer made contact with the student who agreed they could enter the room.

Another UA student was also in the room, though he said he did not live there.

While speaking with the officers, the resident stated that he did not have marijuana in the room and had not used any for three months.

He was checked for signs and symptoms or marijuana use, and had red, glassy eyes, a green­tinted tongue and raised taste buds.

While speaking to the other student who did not live in the room, police were informed that they had been smoking marijuana off campus, and that there was more marijuana in the room.

The resident then admitted to having marijuana in the room, but confirmed that he did not smoke in the room or on UA campus. He pointed to a plastic pill container on his desk, and stated that he had no other drugs or paraphernalia in the room.

An officer read the student his Miranda rights, and asked him where he purchased the marijuana, but the student would not provide any names.

He was cited and released for possession of marijuana, and a code of conduct was submitted to the Dean of Students. His 13.1 grams of marijuana was confiscated.

September 10 Two UA students were arrested, cited and released on Sept. 4 at approximately 12:40 a.m., after a resident assistant reported an odor of marijuana coming from their dorm room. Two UAPD officers arrived at the residence hall and were able to confirm the smell coming from the room. They then made contact with the occupants, who were three UA students. All three roommates admitted to smoking marijuana in their room, and one of the students said the marijuana belonged to him. He agreed to show an officer where it was located, while the other officer stayed with the other two roommates in the hallway.

The student stated that he kept his marijuana in a backpack in a locked drawer in his desk and agreed to open the drawer to give the marijuana to the officer.

The backpack contained approximately 21.2 grams of marijuana in plastic baggies, four smoking pipes, two bongs, one vaporizer and one metal marijuana grinder.

The officer read the student his Miranda rights and the student stated that he got the marijuana from a UA student, but didn’t know their name. He was cited and released for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and asked to have a seat in the hallway while the officer spoke to the next roommate, who had a bottle of vodka under his desk.

The student agreed to speak with the officer and said the vodka belonged to him. He also stated that he got the alcohol from another UA student, but could not remember the name. He was cited and released for underage person in possession of liquor. He also admitted to smoking marijuana in the room.

The last student stated he had smoked marijuana with his other two roommates in the room, and agreed to a search of his area. No contraband was located on his side of the room. All three roommates were issued code of conduct violations.

September 11 Two UA students were arrested on charges of minor in possession on Saturday after an officer from the University of Arizona Police Department observed them standing on the corner of Cherry Avenue and Speedway Boulevard at approximately 12:32 a.m. One of the students picked up a “No Right Turn” sign mounted on a post and began doing bench presses with the sign. After about five presses, the student threw the sign in the gravel between the sidewalk and the parking lot of a sorority house. The officer spoke with the student who threw the sign and asked for identification. The student said he was just fooling around, and that it was stupid of him to throw the sign.

6

He had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath and bloodshot eyes, and the officer noted that he was mumbling as he spoke. The student admitted to drinking a few beers at an off­campus party, but was unable to say where the party was or who had provided the beer. A sergeant also arrived and noted there was no damage to the sign. The officer then spoke with the second man and got ID from him. He also had the smell of alcohol on his breath, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. The student admitted to having a few sips of beer, but would also not say where he had been drinking or who had provided the beer. Both students were arrested, cited and released, and code of conduct violations were completed.

A UA student was transported to the University of Arizona Medical Center by ambulance for extreme intoxication on Saturday at approximately 2:15 a.m.

An officer went to a residence hall at approximately 1:54 a.m. in response to a call for medical assistance. When the officer arrived, a woman was lying on the floor in a dorm room, being evaluated by Student Emergency Medical Services.

The woman was uncooperative and was not answering SEMS’s questions. She smelled strongly of alcohol, and it looked like she had urinated in the room.

The room’s resident identified the woman and said she believed she lived on the third floor of a different residence hall.

The resident then told the officer that the woman on the floor had started drinking at 2 p.m. on Friday and continued drinking until midnight. They had attended a party together at a house north of campus, where the woman had had mixed drinks and had possibly taken shots as well.

She had to be carried back up to the dorm room, the resident added.

Tucson Fire Department then arrived to evaluate the woman, who continued to be uncooperative and at one point told the paramedic to “fuck off,” giving him the middle finger.

When another member of TFD asked her what her date of birth was, she responded, “Birth control.”

TFD said that the woman was not medically cleared to stay on campus and had an ambulance transport her to UAMC for treatment.

At approximately 5:45 a.m., the officer followed up with the girl in her hospital room, where she was arrested, cited and released for minor in possession of liquor in body. She was also issued a code of conduct violation through the Dean of Students office.

September 13 A UA student was referred to the Dean of Students for underage drinking on Sunday at approximately 12:03 a.m., after a UAPD officer noticed two men walking on the sidewalk near Park Avenue and Fourth Street. One of the men was helping the other one walk by holding him up.

7

The officer stopped and approached the men. While speaking with them, it was clear that the man who was being assisted was very intoxicated. The intoxicated man was later identified as a UA student.

He had red, watery and bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and smelled like alcohol. He also had a laceration over his eye that he said he got from bumping into a pole. He then admitted to drinking gin.

Tucson Fire Department was called to evaluate the student and concluded that if someone looked after him, he would not need to be taken to a hospital.

The other man who was assisting said he lives in the same dorm as the student, but did not want to look after him and left prior to TFD leaving.

While speaking with the student, another UA student walked up and offered to help. He said he was neighbors with the student and that they spend a lot of time together.

He agreed to watch his intoxicated friend for the night. The student was referred to the Dean of Students for Student Diversion for underage drinking.

September 16 A UA student was cited and released for minor in possession on Sept. 12 in the parking lot of a residence hall at 11:50 p.m. UAPD officers were patrolling the area when a woman, later identified as a UA student, exited the front seat of a taxi cab holding a red cup. When she saw the officers, she immediately turned around and started walking away.

One of the officers stepped in front of her and noticed the cup was no longer in her hand. When asked where the cup was she lifted up the front of her shirt and produced the cup from inside the front of her spandex shorts.

When she handed the cup to the officer, some of the liquid, which smelled like alcohol, splashed on the officer’s hand. The woman also smelled like alcohol and said she had been drinking vodka at an off­campus party.

The officer asked the taxi cab driver where he had picked up the group of people who were still in the van, and was told it was at a house party. The officer cited and released the woman for minor in possession.

September 17 Two UA students were diverted to the Dean of Students for possession of marijuana in their residence hall on Wednesday, at 10:40 p.m. At 10:22 p.m., officers responded to the residence hall in reference to the smell of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. An officer knocked on the door and a man answered. He identified himself as the resident of the room and allowed the officers to enter.

8

There were two other men inside the room. Officers informed the men, all of whom were UA students, that they smelled marijuana coming from the room.

One of the officers asked them if they had any marijuana or paraphernalia. The resident of the room said he had a grinder and gave it to the officer. He and another student admitted to smoking marijuana off campus.

One of the students provided the officer with three packages of rolling papers and an empty container for marijuana. The third student in the room said he had smoked marijuana in the past, but had not smoked since he came to campus.

The resident said the grinder belonged to him, and the student said the rolling papers and container belonged to him. They were diverted through the Dean of Students for possession of drug paraphernalia.

September 18 Three UA students were referred to the Dean of Students Office on Sunday at around 2:05 a.m. after they were found coming out of the construction site at Old Main. An officer from the University of Arizona Police Department heard voices coming from the building, then saw a woman leaving the construction site between two fence panels loose enough to squeeze through. After the woman and two men exited the construction site, the officer stopped and questioned them. The students admitted to entering the construction site through the same panels they used to leave, saying that said they had all really wanted to see Old Main before it was renovated. They all had red, watery eyes and smelled strongly of alcohol. When the officer questioned them, they admitted to drinking earlier that night at a party. All three students were cited and released on charges of minor in possession of alcohol. A code of conduct violation for trespassing was also completed for each of the students.

***

Officers were sent to a residence hall on Sunday at 2:22 a.m. to give medical assistance to a UA student who appeared to be heavily intoxicated.

Vomit was scattered in several areas leading up to the lobby where the student sat. When questioned, the student could not speak intelligibly. His watery, bloodshot eyes, the strong smell of alcohol on his breath and his random statements that didn’t make sense led officers to realize he had been drinking that evening.

The student later admitted he drank a large amount of beer and alcohol at his fraternity house and couldn’t keep the mixture down.

An ambulance and the Tucson Fire Department showed up at the residence hall and determined the student needed to be treated for extreme intoxication.

The officer arrested and cited the student on charges of minor in possession of alcohol, then released him to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. A code of conduct violation was also sent to the Dean of Students.

September 19 Two UA students were arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia at 12:15 a.m. on Sunday. While conducting a security check, a UAPD officer spotted a man and a woman smoking on the northwest corner of the top level of a parking garage on campus.

They initially appeared to be sharing a cigarette, but when the woman saw the police car, she gave the item to the man, who then threw it away from the garage.

As the UAPD officer approached the students, there was then a strong smell of marijuana. There was also a glass jar next to the man, which was found to contain .7 grams of marijuana. In between the man’s legs, there was also an open cigar package with one cigar, a pair of scissors and loose tobacco.

The male student showed the officer his medical marijuana card and said he was taking his medicine. He explained how he had removed the tobacco from the cigars and used them to smoke his marijuana. He also admitted to sharing his medicine with the other student, although he knew he wasn’t supposed to possess or use marijuana on campus.

While looking around the scene, the officer found a blunt containing .2 grams of marijuana between the students and the wall.

Both students were cited and released at the scene. September 20 A UA student was arrested for driving under the influence on Tuesday at approximately 2:25 a.m. Around 1:58 a.m., an officer from the University of Arizona Police Department pulled the vehicle over for swerving into the far left lane with the intention to turn and jerking the vehicle back into the right lane.

When the officer went to speak to the student, the student rolled down the back seat right window instead of his own. He then realized his mistake and rolled down the correct window.

While the student looked for his registration and proof of insurance, the officer noticed a strong smell of alcohol coming from the student. The student also had watery, bloodshot eyes, a flushed face and slurred speech.

When asked to step outside the vehicle, the student was unsteady while he stood.

The officer then conducted a sobriety test, and the student failed. An assistant officer was called to complete the test.

The student asked officers if he could take his shoes off to perform the rest of the test because he didn’t have any laces in them. The officers agreed, though the student still failed.

10

He was taken back to UAPD for further questioning and testing, and was found to have a BAC of 0.8.

The student was cited and release for an extreme DUI and his vehicle was impounded.

September 25 Two UA students were referred to the Dean of Students Office for possession of drug­related paraphernalia and minor in possession of alcohol in a residence hall dorm room on Thursday at 10:35 p.m. Two University of Arizona Police Department officers were called to the residence hall because a strong smell of marijuana was coming from the fourth floor. When the officers found the room the smell was coming from, they knocked on the door.

The smell of marijuana became even stronger when the door was opened. On a desk, in plain sight, was a marijuana grinder, rolling papers and a plastic bag with what looked to be marijuana stems. About one­third of a liter of rum was sitting on another desk in the room.

Initially, the officers only saw one student in the room. They asked if they could come in to talk to him, and the student agreed. Once the officers were inside, the student’s roommate came out of the bathroom. When the officers asked where the marijuana was, the roommate admitted to flushing it down the toilet.

Both students gave the officers permission to search the room, but they didn’t find anything else.

The students did not say who provided the alcohol or the marijuana.

The rum was emptied out and bottles were thrown away. The drug­related paraphernalia was taken for evidence.

September 26 Two UA students were arrested, cited and released for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia in a UA residence hall dorm room on Monday at 9:20 p.m.

An RA reported to UAPD officers that a strong smell of marijuana was coming from one of the rooms in the residence hall.

The dorm floor’s RA took the officers to the room where the smell was coming from and officers found two UA students inside. Both students had bloodshot eyes and officers noticed their tongues had raised taste buds with a green tint toward the back of their mouths.

The students said they lived in the hall and admitted that they had smoked marijuana roughly 30 minutes before the officers arrived.

The officers were given permission to enter the room and the students gave them a white box with a rechargeable black vaporizer and a small glass jar with 0.8 grams of THC. One of the students said it was his smoking kit which he had brought from home.

Code of conduct violations were submitted to the Dean of Students Office for both students.

11

September 30 Two UA students were cited and released for minor in possession on Sept. 21 at 1:04 a.m. Two UAPD officers were on patrol near a residence hall when they spotted two students, a man and a woman, leaving a cab. The students were holding each other tightly and leaning against one another as they walked to their dorm.

Neither of the students could walk straight. As they tried to walk over the curb, they tripped and almost fell down.

UAPD officers approached the students to question them separately. The man said he had just left a house on Greek Row but couldn’t remember which one. He said he drank a lot of jungle juice.

While he was speaking, the man started vomiting. After he finished, he said he felt better.

When questioned by an officer, the woman said she had a lot of money and was wondering how much the arrest would cost. She then said she was 92 years old but corrected her age to 19, both of which were incorrect.

The Tucson Fire Department was called because of the high level of intoxication of the woman. She was told she was getting a minor in possession but didn’t understand so the officers repeated it to her six times.

After the woman was released by the TFD, she was taken to her room. TFD also took the man up to his room where his roommate promised to take care of him.

Both students received code of conduct violations, which were sent to the Dean of Students office.

October 2 A UA student was arrested and booked by University of Arizona Police Department officers on Sept. 21 at 12:05 a.m. for minor in bodily possession of alcohol in a residence hall.

UAPD officers went to the dorm to speak to a drunken student who had pushed two RAs while trying to get back to his room, after he was seen drunk at a social event in the men’s wing of the dorm. The event was shut down after RAs found out that alcohol was being served.

The student could barely walk and refused to go back to his room until he was told he was going to get written up. Ten minutes later, RAs went to the student’s room and found five men drinking jungle juice. When the RAs accused the student of drinking jungle juice, he got angry and told the RAs to call the police.

When officers arrived, an RA took them to the student’s room. The student opened the door but stood in the doorway with the door partially closed behind him. He said that he hadn’t touched any women that night, but may have touched some men “in a friendly way.” He also denied that he had told anyone to call the police.

The student smelled strongly of alcohol and had red, bloodshot eyes. He refused to take a preliminary breath test, then tried to shut the door on police officers, saying that he no longer wanted to speak to them and was ready to go back into his room.

12

As he tried to shut the door, an officer grabbed the student’s arm and took him into the hallway. As the student could not stand up straight, the officer instructed him to sit by the wall, but the student refused. The officer repeated his instructions and the student again refused.

As the officers continued speaking to him, the student began showing mood swings. He was joking and lighthearted one moment, then uncooperative and angry the next. At one point, he tried to convince an officer to punch him, saying, “I can sue the shit out of you.”

At that point, the student was handcuffed, arrested and booked into Pima County Jail.

***

UAPD officers were called to a fraternity party on Sept. 21 at 12:20 a.m. due to loud noises coming from the fraternity house.

When officers arrived, they saw two to three people outside and heard a lot of noise coming from inside the building. A slight scent of alcohol was also present in the area.

When officers spoke to the fraternity president and vice president, who were standing at the back entrance of the house, the students apologized and one went inside to quiet everybody down. Both students strongly smelled of alcohol and said they were standing in the back to make sure only members of their fraternity and significant others were allowed in to the party.

The students said it was a “hangout” of about 80 people.

When officers asked if they could enter, the students said no. They added that everything inside was OK and everyone was about to leave.

Officers told the students that people who did not live there should leave, and people who did should get to their rooms.

As officers were walking out, they could hear voices coming from inside the building yelling, “Shut the fuck up,” and “Be quiet.”

The Greek Life Dean of Students was contacted and notified of the situation.

A UA student was taken from a UA residence hall to the University of Arizona Medical Center for extreme intoxication on Sept 21 at 2:31 a.m.

At 2:17 a.m., a UAPD officer responded to a call from the students’ roommate, who was worried about how drunk the student was. The Tucson Fire Department responded as well.

The student smelled strongly of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and there was vomit next to his bed.

As a TFD official looked through the student’s wallet for a valid I.D., a fake I.D. fell out.When the student was asked where he was really from, he replied, “Alcohol.”

TFD decided the student was not OK so stay in his room for the night and took him to UAMC, where he was monitored overnight.

The student was cited and released for minor in bodily possession of alcohol and possession of a fictitious out­of­state drivers license.

13

A code of conduct violation was sent to the Dean of Students office.

October 3 University of Arizona Police Department officers referred a UA student to the Dean of Students Office for diversion for minor in possession of alcohol in a UA parking lot on campus at 1:45 a.m. on Sunday. UAPD officers were outside of a residence hall when they saw a student exit a cab and stumble backwards for about 15 feet until he fell into a large puddle of water.

Officers went to check if the student was injured and saw that he was extremely drunk. He had red, bloodshot eyes and smelled strongly of alcohol. He couldn’t stand up straight and swayed back and forth.

The student said he had been at an off­campus house party and had “drank hard.”

University of Arizona Medical Services and the Tucson Fire Department arrived to see if the student was OK.

After an evaluation, they released the student to his friend to be cared for. The student was walked to his dorm room by his friend.

***

A UA student was arrested for minor in bodily possession of alcohol by UAPD officers on Sept. 29 at 2:45 a.m.

A UAPD officer saw a man sitting on a bench and throwing up. When the officer checked on him, it became obvious that he was drunk.

The student said that he was underage and had been drinking a lot of beer that night. He also said that he was only throwing up “just a little bit,” but would not say where he had been drinking.

TFD was called to evaluate the condition of the student, who had bloodshot, watery eyes and smelled strongly of vomit and alcohol.

On Saturday at 1:13 a.m., UAPD officers diverted a UA student to the Dean of Students Office for a minor with spirituous liquor in the body.

Officers were called to the Arizona­Sonora Residence Hall to help a drunken student in need of medical assistance.

They met the drunken student’s roommate in the lobby of the residence hall, along with TFD paramedics, and were escorted to the student’s dorm room.

When they entered the room, they found the student lying down. She had watery, bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, but was coherent and able to answer questions.

The student’s roommate said she had called the paramedics because the drunken student had been unconscious earlier. She was also worried because another woman had tried to gag the drunken student to induce vomiting, but when she pulled her finger out of the student’s throat, there was blood on her fingertip.

It was determined by the paramedics that the student did not need to be taken to UAMC for evaluation.

The student was referred to diversion but told that she could be arrested at a later point in time.

October 31 A UA student was taken from the Herbert K. Abrams Building to the University of Arizona Medical Center for extreme intoxication on Sunday at 2:49 a.m.

University of Arizona Police Department officers received a call from the Tucson Fire Department about a man on the ground outside of the Abrams building and went to see if he was OK. When officers arrived, they found a UA student lying on the sidewalk, speaking to TFD officials. The student was overheard excitedly telling medical personnel, “I’m drunk!” and slurring his words as he was evaluated.

Officers noted that it was very hard to understand the student due to his slurring and could not verbally identify him.

The officers then tried to identify him by asking for the student’s ID. The student agreed to give the officer his wallet with identification inside. The officer waited but the student made no effort to hand over his wallet. When the officer asked again, the student looked at the officer and said, “I did.”

An officer asked the student if he could get the ID out of the student’s wallet and the student said yes. While getting the ID, officers found two California licenses, one real, the other fake, stating the student was six years older than he actually was.

At that point, TFD’s evaluation determined that the student should be taken to the UAMC for treatment for extreme drunkenness.

A referral to the Dean of Students Office for minor in possession of alcohol and possession of a fictitious out­of­state drivers license was completed on behalf of the student.

The fake drivers license was placed into evidence.

November 4 University of Arizona Police Department officers referred two UA students to the Dean of Students Office for minors with spirituous liquor in the body in the parking lot of Coronado Residence Hall on Friday at 1:36 a.m.

Two officers were leaving the Coronado lobby when a student approached the officers and told them about his friend who had fallen outside and cut her face.

The officers immediately went to aid the woman, but found an ambulance from the Tucson Fire Department already taking care of her. She had an abrasion to the right side of her head near her temple and had thrown up in the parking lot after hitting her head.

The student told officers that the woman had been at a Delta Chi party with him and had been drinking wine. They were walking home after the party when she tripped and hit her head. After she stood up, she began to throw up.

As the student spoke to the officers, they noted that he had red, watery eyes, slurred his speech and smelled strongly of alcohol. TFD told the officers the woman would be released because her abrasion was minor and she was able to speak.

The officers got the ID of the student and had to ask for the woman’s identification three times because she kept misspelling her name.

The officers determined the students were both underage and the students received a minor in possession and were deferred to the Dean of Students Office.

November 5 A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office on charges of minor in possession of alcohol on Friday at 11:57 p.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was patrolling around Helen Street and Cherry Avenue when he saw suspicious movement in the bushes. He saw a woman stand up from a squatting position inside the bush. As the officer got closer, he could see the woman had her skirt, underwear and leggings pulled down around her ankles.

When the woman saw the officer, she pulled up her clothing and said, “Sorry, I really needed to pee.”

As she spoke, the officer noticed her watery eyes, slurred speech and the strong smell of alcohol coming from her breath. The student said she was alone and had been drinking at a friend’s house earlier that evening but was not sure where the house was. She said that she had taken several shots of alcohol.

29

The student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office. No further legal action was taken.

UAPD officers diverted a UA student to the Dean of Students Office on Friday at 2:01 a.m. for charges of minor in possession of alcohol.

UAPD officers were called to the women’s restroom on the third floor of Apache­Santa Cruz Residence Hall. When the officers arrived, they found a student slouched over a toilet.

The stall the student was in smelled strongly of alcohol. Officers tried to speak to the student but could not understand her when she spoke. Her speech was slurred and she could not lift her head from the toilet.

The student’s roommate was able to speak on the student’s behalf and she gave officers the student’s identification and general information.

The roommate said the student had gone out with other friends that evening to a fraternity party. When the roommate returned, she found the student drunk.

The student asked her roommate to call the Tucson Fire Department because she thought she drank too much alcohol and needed to go to the hospital.

After TFD evaluated the student, it was determined that the student needed to be taken to the University of Arizona Medical Center. She was then diverted to the Dean of Students office.

November 6 UAPD officers arrested a UA student for minor in bodily possession of alcohol in the Coronado residence hall on Friday at 2:30 a.m.

Earlier that evening, a student called The Tucson Fire Department to report his brother, who was extremely drunk and in need of medical attention. UAPD officers arrived to the dorm at the same time as TFD and University of Arizona Emergency Medical Services.

The emergency service officials were taken to the fifth floor where they found the drunken student. He smelled strongly of alcohol with red, watery eyes.

He began to speak, but it was difficult to understand what he was saying because of his slurred speech. While trying to speak, he said that he only had a small amount of alcohol to drink that night at a location he didn’t know.

As TFD and UAEMS officials evaluated the drunken student, his brother spoke to UAPD officers, offering to take care of his brother for the night so he wouldn’t have to go to the hospital.

TFD determined that the student would be able to stay in his room as long as his brother was taking care of him.

The student was cited and released at the scene. A code of conduct form was also submitted on his behalf to the Dean of Student’s office.

On Saturday at approximately 2:55 a.m., UAPD officers diverted seven students to the Dean of Students Office for underage drinking.

UAPD officers received a call from a cab driver who was passing by the Delta Chi fraternity house and saw eight students throwing rocks at the house.

When officers arrived at the house, they found the students still outside.

The students were identified by their CatCards, and when questioned by UAPD officers, they each gave a different story as to where they were coming from and what they were doing.

Seven of the eight students had red, bloodshot eyes and flushed faces and smelled heavily of alcohol. They admitted to drinking earlier that night at an off­campus party.

Only one student denied drinking that evening. When given a preliminary breath test, he was found to be telling the truth.

The seven drunken students were diverted to the Dean of Students Office and released at the scene.

November 8 A UA student was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia on Tuesday at 2:59 a.m. in Apache Santa Cruz Residence Hall.

Earlier that evening, the resident assistant on duty called UAPD and reported smelling marijuana coming from one of the dorm rooms on the second floor.

Officers knocked on the door to speak to the student who lived there. The resident who answered the door said his roommate had been smoking weed before the police arrived. However, the roommate was no longer in the room.

Officers noticed the student did not show signs of marijuana use while he was speaking and asked for him to call police when his roommate arrived back in the room.

Checking up on the student’s whereabouts, a UAPD officer later arrived to the dorm room. He knocked but got no response. He called the student who initially opened the door. The student said that he was not in the room but would be shortly.

The student later came back to the room and met the officer. Although he said he did not know if his roommate was inside, he opened the door to let the officer in.

The roommate was found sleeping in his bed and was woken up by the officer. He agreed to a room search. While searching, the officer found a glass pipe, a homemade pipe and a container with marijuana residue.

The student was arrested, cited and released. A code of conduct was also sent on his behalf to the Dean of Student’s Office.

November 12 Two UA students were arrested for underage persons with spirituous liquor in the body at 2:20 a.m. on Tuesday near the north end zone of Arizona Stadium.

Earlier that evening, UAPD officers saw four men pulling blue plastic trash containers past the north end zone. The men appeared to be drunk, though officers weren’t certain.

When the students saw the officers’ patrol car approaching, they ran west. Two students were caught by an officer and held back while the other two students continued to run down Highland Avenue and eventually split up.

Assisting officers who ran after the students were unable to find them.

During the chase, two trash containers had been knocked over and garbage was thrown all over the sidewalk. The two students being held offered to pick up the trash and replace the trash bins. While the students were speaking, officers noted that they both had watery, red eyes and smelled strongly of alcohol.

One student denied drinking. However, when a preliminary breath test was conducted, alcohol was present in his body. He then admitted to drinking vodka at a party at The Retreat.

The other student admitted to drinking as well. Both said that they did not know where they got the alcohol from or who the two men who ran from the scene were.

The students were arrested for underage drinking. They were taken to their residence at Colonial De La Paz where they were cited and released.

The Tucson Fire Department also responded to the scene to provide medical assistance.

The officer spoke to the student, who said she had been drinking at Alpha Epsilon Pi. She said she had drunk seven sake bombs.

While speaking with the student, the officer noticed she was slurring her words, had red watery eyes and smelled strongly of alcohol.

The student said she was gluten intolerant and was not supposed to eat pasta or drink beer, but had eaten a large pasta dinner and drunk beer earlier in the night.

She also said she had taken prescription medication prior to consuming the beer.

A UAPD officer went to Villa del Puente Residence Hall after a resident assistant reported that a smell of marijuana was coming from one of the rooms.

The officer met with the RA and they knocked on the door of the room the smell was coming from.

When one of the residents opened the door and let the officer in, the smell of marijuana became stronger. The officer contacted the room’s other resident, who joined them.

The officer asked the two if there was marijuana present in the room. The students said that they could smell marijuana, but that the smell was not coming from their room.

Though the resident who had opened the door did not show any signs of drug use, the officer noticed the second resident had red, bloodshot eyes. The officer told him that he appeared to be under the influence of marijuana and repeated his earlier question.

The student then handed the cop a rolled marijuana cigarette that he had been holding. The other roommate said he had not smoked any marijuana.

The officer did not find any more evidence of the drug in the room.

The student under the influence was cited and released for possession of marijuana. A code of conduct referral was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.

November 18 Two UA students were arrested for minor in possession in the body at 12:05 a.m. on Friday.

UAPD officers were working Residence Life detail when they overheard a dispatch on the radio involving a student passed out in the back of a cab outside of the Arizona Sonora Residence Hall.

Officers walked to the residence hall, where they met Tucson Fire Department.

They were able to identify the student by the CatCard she was carrying, but could not find any information about where she lived. The cab driver told officers there was another woman in the cab but that she had left.

Officers were able to track down the woman who had left but she said she only knew the student’s name and nothing else. As officers spoke to the woman, they noted that she was slurring her speech and could not stand up straight. She swayed back and forth and had red, watery eyes with smeared mascara.

She was arrested, cited and released for minor in possession in the body. The officers then went back to the student laying in the cab and determined that she would need to be taken to the University of Arizona Medical Center for extreme intoxication.

Code of conduct forms were sent on behalf of both students to the Dean of Students Office.

November 19 At around 10 p.m. on Friday, a Tucson Fire Department ambulance took a UA student from Apache­Santa Cruz Residence Hall to the University of Arizona Medical Center for extreme intoxication.

When officers arrived, the student was in his room sitting on a chair with his head in a trashcan.

When officers asked him if he was OK he said he “just wanted to go to bed.”

The officers noticed that the student’s breath smelled like alcohol and that he had red, watery eyes and was slurring his speech. When he stood, the student swayed back and forth, almost falling into the wall.

The officers called TFD to the scene to examine the student. He told TFD personnel he had taken several shots of vodka that night. TFD then took the student to UAMC.

The student was cited later that night and diverted to the Dean of Students Office.

When the officers approached the two women, the leaning student was unable to sit up. The officers noted that the student also had bloodshot, watery eyes and her breath smelled strongly of alcohol.

The student said “I’m OK” repeatedly, and the officers noticed her slurred speech.

The woman with her told the officers they had been at a party at the SlaughterHouse, and that she hadn’t had anything to drink, but her friend had been drinking vodka.

She told the officers that her friend had stopped drinking about two hours earlier, but she was going to stay with the friend all night to make sure she was OK.

The drunk student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office.

Two UAPD officers were standing outside of Likins Hall when the resident assistant on duty came out and told them that a female student was passed out in a bathroom on the third floor.

The officers went upstairs to find the student conscious and breathing and asked her to come outside and speak with them.

The officers noticed the student had bloodshot, watery eyes and a flushed face and smelled of alcohol. The student told officers she had drunk three shots of vodka an hour ago, and declined medical attention.

She said the shots were provided at a “pre­game” party but could not remember where the party had taken place.

November 20 A UA student was arrested for minor in possession of alcohol and false reporting to a law enforcement agency near Highland Avenue on Saturday at around noon.

Three UA students were walking near the Highland tunnel. Two of the students were sipping out of beer cans when a University of Arizona Police Department officer activated his patrol lights to get their attention.

The two students that were drinking pulled more cans of beer out of their pockets and placed them on the ground in front of the officer.

The students said they were on their way to tailgate for the football game and they thought it was okay to have open containers of alcohol on campus during game days. The officer told them they could only drink alcohol in specific tailgating areas.

The officer then asked for the students’ identification and confirmed that two of them were old enough to drink.

The third student told the officer he didn’t have a form of identification with him and said his birthday was on June 23, 1993.

The officer told the student there was no record for him under that birth date and asked again, noting the student’s bloodshot, watery eyes. The student said his birthday was on June 23, 1992 the second time, but again the officer could not find a record that matched.

The officer found a record for his name with a June 2, 1993 birth date.

After confirming it was him the student apologized for lying and said, “I have my beliefs about the statues, but I know you are just doing your job.”

The student was cited and released and referred to the Dean of Students Office. The other two students were released on the scene as well.

***

Two UA students were cited and released on drug charges while outside of Coconino Residence Hall on Saturday at 10:30 p.m.

A UAPD Officer responded to the scene after another officer advised him that he saw two students smoking in the area.

The officer saw two men walking around the area smoking and asked them to stop. One of the students quickly stopped and placed something behind a tree and then proceeded to walk toward the officer.

The officer looked behind the tree and found a wooden one­hitter pipe, a multi­colored glass pipe and a lighter.

The officer noticed the students had glossy eyes and their taste buds appeared to be tinted green and raised.

The one­hitter and the glass pipe had burnt, green residue which looked like marijuana.

35

The student who placed the items behind the tree denied that the items were his and said he did not pay for the marijuana.

The other student told the officer the items were his and that they had been smoking marijuana before the officer saw them.

Both students were cited and released on charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

November 21 A UA student was arrested for possession of a fake driver’s license and for using the fake ID to purchase alcohol on Thursday at around 1 p.m.

The fake driver’s license was discovered after the student left his wallet at the Express Document Center in the UA Main Library.

When it was found, a University of Arizona Police Department officer went through it to identify who it belonged to and found the fake license as well as a receipt from an alcohol purchase.

The student was contacted and informed the wallet had been found.

When the student arrived to pick it up, he was met by a UAPD officer, who asked to speak with him about the wallet.

The student seemed very nervous at the time and the officer asked him if he knew why he wanted to speak with him. He replied, “Because I had something in my wallet that I shouldn’t have.”

The officer showed the student the fake ID as well as a receipt from a nearby Safeway that showed a purchase of more than $100 worth of vodka and rum. The student confirmed that the fake license was his and that he had used it to buy the alcohol.

The student said he no longer had the alcohol in his possession and that he had purchased two fake IDs for $100 from the website “ID Chief,” but he only had one left because a bouncer at an unidentified bar had seized the other one.

The student was arrested and released on the scene for using the fake driver’s license, and was referred to the Dean of Students Office.

November 26 Three UA students were cited at a parking lot on Helen Street for minor in possession of alcohol on Nov. 16 at 1:30 p.m. One of the students was also arrested for an outstanding warrant from UAPD for failure to appear in court.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was conducting a routine check when he saw two men and a woman playing football in the parking lot. The officer also noticed another man standing near a car and a woman sitting in the car who seemed to be affiliated with the three students playing football.

The officer noticed a can on the car and another in one of the students’ hands. The woman playing football had thrown a third can on the ground when she saw the officer park. When the

36

officer got closer she noticed several cans of Bud Light Lime­A­Rita on the ground and on the floor of the car.

The officer asked the students for identification. All provided their IDs except the student standing near the car. The student standing said he was 21 and began to pace around the car saying the officer was picking on “the kids.”

The officer then called an assisting officer due to the possibility of underage drinking.

A records check showed that one of the students had a warrant with UAPD for failure to appear on a charge of minor with spirituous liquor in body and was taken to Pima County Jail. A third officer was called to the parking lot to help determine which students had been drinking and who had provided the alcohol.

One of the students, who was underage, admitted to buying Straw­ber­itas for her and her roommate who was also underage. She was arrested, cited and released at the scene for providing liquor to a minor and for a minor in possession. One other student who also showed signs of alcohol consumption was arrested, cited and released at the scene.

A code of conduct was also sent to the Dean of Students Office.

November 27 A UA student was cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol on Nov. 20 at 1:26 a.m. near First Street and Warren Avenue.

A UAPD officer noticed the student swaying as she walked east on First Street. The student seemed uncoordinated.

When the officer turned on his emergency lights, the student tried to walk faster, but became even more unsteady.

The officer asked the student if she was OK and noticed her eyes were red and her breath smelled like alcohol. The student denied drinking and said she was going to Delta Chi for her little.

The student then started crying and asking the officer why he was getting her in trouble. She said she wasn’t doing anything wrong and that the officer was getting her in trouble for helping her little. The student then denied being a member of a sorority.

The student was cited and released for minor in possession in the body and a code of conduct referral was completed on her behalf.

December 2 A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for minor in consumption of alcohol on Nov. 17 at 1:48 a.m. after he was seen leaning heavily on his friend near Villa del Puente Residence Hall. A UAPD officer approached the student and noticed that he looked younger than 21. The officer asked the student to sit down and asked him his age and if he had been drinking. The student said he was 18 and that he drank “a little bit.”

37

As the officer tested the student for signs of intoxication, the student was unable to keep his head still and his eyes kept wandering.

The student said he usually drinks once every three to four weeks and only takes about two to three shots when he does. The student told the officer it was an above average night because it was his birthday but wouldn’t say how many shots he took at an off­campus house party.

The student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office.

December 3 Two UA students were cited and released for minor in possession in body outside of Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall on Nov. 23 at 2:15 a.m.

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers were patrolling for Residence Life in an unmarked car when they heard two loud thumps on the back of their car. The officers saw two UA students walking across Highland Avenue right behind the car.

They talked to the students separately and asked what the thump was. One of the students told the officer the other student hit the trunk. The officer noticed that the student’s eyes were red, his breath smelled like alcohol and he swayed while standing. The student told the officer he’d drunk “a little.”

When the officer cited him for minor in possession, the student said, “I will fight the charge.” The student declined to do a preliminary breath test, signed the citation and walked away.

The second student told the other officer he’d hit the car to warn the officers that they were walking behind. The officer asked the student if he had thought they would suddenly put the car in reverse and run into them. The student said he was being courteous.

The officer noticed the student’s eyes were red and watery and asked for the student’s ID. The student told the officer his birthdate, which indicated he wasn’t old enough to drink.

The student denied having had anything to drink, even though the officer told him his breath smelled like alcohol.

The student was cited and released for minor in possession of liquor in the body due to the symptoms the officer observed.

December 5 Two UA students were cited and released for alcohol violations on Nov. 22 at 10:30 p.m. at Park Avenue and Lowell Street. One of the students was also cited for a license violation.

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers were on Residence Life security detail when they saw the UA students walking south from Arizona­Sonora Residence Hall to the Metro Wildcat convenience store. One of the students was wearing an unzipped, empty backpack.

The officers waited outside the store and saw the students walk out with a full, zipped­up backpack. When the officers turned on their emergency lights, the student with the backpack kept walking east, while the other student headed north.

The officers stopped both students to talk to them. The student without a backpack admitted that there was beer in the other student’s backpack and told the officer that he paid for the beer, but

38

his friend carried it to the counter. He said he didn’t see his friend show the clerk an ID but he assumed he did because the clerk sold them the beer.

The student with the backpack told another officer he was able to purchase the alcohol with a fake ID. The student gave the officer a fake Montana driver’s license and said he was actually 19 years old.

There were two 12­packs of Pabst Blue Ribbon and a six­pack of Bud Light Lime in the backpack, the student said.

Both students were cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol, and the student carrying the backpack was cited for having a fake driver’s license.

The officers poured out the two 12­packs and the six­pack.

When they went to the reported room, one of the residents opened the door, and the officer asked to speak to him and his roommate.

The officer asked one of them if there was marijuana in the room, the student said, “Yeah, it’s in the fridge.”

He then opened the fridge and handed the officer a Ziploc bag with a small amount of marijuana inside.

The student said he had bought the marijuana for $10 from someone in Oro Valley and that it belonged to both him and his roommate.

His roommate confirmed this. They said they smoked with a friend in Oro Valley and they didn’t smoke any of the marijuana on campus.

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 Kaibab­Huachuca 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 drug­related 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.

December 10 Two UA students were cited and released for possession of marijuana in Kaibab­Huachuca Residence Hall on Tuesday at 10:50 p.m.

As the officer was getting ready to smell the door jam, a student walked out of the room. The officer asked if it was his room and the student said no and pointed to another student inside the room.

Both students were wearing backpacks and said they were going to the library. The resident denied having marijuana in the room and allowed the officer to search his side.

The officer also got permission to search the resident’s backpack, where he found rolling papers and a marijuana grinder which had marijuana in it. The resident said they were planning to go smoke and that the other student also had marijuana on him.

The officer then got permission to search the other student’s backpack. The officer found two unopened bottles of Corona and under those was a Ziploc bag with some marijuana in it.

Both denied having marijuana in the room, but the student consented to a search of his side of the room. During his search, the officer found a pharmacy bag in the student’s backpack, which contained marijuana, two glass pipes and a small chocolate marijuana candy. The student said he had forgotten about his backpack and produced a medicinal marijuana card from California. The officer advised the student that he was not allowed to have marijuana on campus.

The officer then questioned the student’s friend, who denied using marijuana. The officer did not observe any symptoms of marijuana use and allowed him to leave.

As the officer continued talking to the student, he noticed a bottle of vodka. The student denied the vodka was his and said it could have belonged to a past resident of the room.

The student’s roommate then returned and gave consent for a search of his side of the room. The roommate also denied ownership of the vodka, and said his previous roommate had left several items in the room.

The officer approached them. Their breath smelled like alcohol, they had bloodshot eyes and their speech was slurred. The man said he’d been drinking at an off­campus party and that he was 19 years old. The 19­year­old woman also said she had a few vodka shots at an off­campus party.

A third student then approached them and said that he’d get them home. The officer repeatedly asked the student to step back and noticed he had bloodshot eyes and his breath smelled like alcohol. The student identified himself with a fake name and fake date of birth. When the officer couldn’t find the given name in a records check, the student admitted to lying.

The two 19­year­olds were arrested on charges of underage drinking, and the third student was arrested on a charge of false reporting to law enforcement. The officer completed Dean of Students referral forms for all three students.

January 23 Two students were cited and released for underage drinking at the corner of Highland Avenue and Sixth Street on Saturday at around 2:05 a.m.

The student then threw a blue aluminum onto the front lawn of the Alpha Phi sorority house. The officer asked the students to stop. The officer then went over to the lawn and found a can of Keystone Light beer that was still cold.

The officer noticed no signs of alcohol consumption from either of the students. The officer then explained the UA Diversion program to the student who threw the can. The student said she understood the program and asked to be considered for it. The student then said she had received the beer at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house.

The student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office.

January 27 A UA student was cited and released for underage drinking near Highland Garage on Jan. 19 at 12:02 a.m.

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers were patrolling the area around Highland Avenue Parking Garage when they noticed three individuals walking near the garage, one was holding a brown plastic bag. When the officers drove by, the individual with the bag swung his arm around in an attempt to conceal the bag from the officers.

The officers turned their vehicle around to stop the individuals. By the time the officers got there, the brown plastic bag was in the possession of another individual.

The officers asked the individual now carrying the bag what was inside. The individual said there was alcohol inside.

An officer then asked the student who was originally carrying the bag why he was no longer doing so. The student denied ever carrying the bag. The officers could smell alcohol on his breath, and noticed his speech was slurred and his eyes were bloodshot and watery. The student’s ID stated that he was under 21 years old. The student denied he had been drinking but refused to take a preliminary breath test. The officers placed the student in handcuffs after he became agitated and aggressive.

The officers then explained the court process to the student, who then became much more cooperative. The officers took the handcuffs off the student so he could sign his citation.

The bag contained an open bottle of E&J Brandy, which was poured out.

A Code of Conduct form was sent to the Dean of Students Office.

When the officer pulled over, the women began to walk away. The officer asked them to stop after he noticed that the woman who had been in the bush could barely walk, and asked if they needed medical attention. They both replied no and said they were just trying to get home.

When the officer asked the woman why she had been lying in the bushes, she claimed she had fallen because she was tired from walking.

While talking to the women, the officer could smell alcohol on both of their breaths and saw they both had bloodshot eyes. He asked them where they were coming from, and they replied, “A house on Greek Row.”

“The frat boys kicked us out,” one of them said.

They would not specify which house they were drinking at, and kept asking the officer to give them a warning so they wouldn’t get in trouble.

An on duty RA called the University of Arizona Police Department, which dispatched an officer to the scene. The two students identified themselves to the officer, who noticed the smell of marijuana coming from both students.

The officer said to the students, “We all know why we are here, correct — I mean, the smell of marijuana?” The students nodded. When asked, they said they lived in Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall.

The officer then said, “Why don’t you guys give me whatever you have left?” One of the students picked up a blue backpack and handed it to the officer. Inside was a metal grinder with marijuana in it. The officer said, “I wonder who this belongs to?” The first student pointed to the second student and said, “It’s his.” Also inside the backpack were a water pipe, several plastic baggies and another small metal grinder with marijuana in it.

When the student did try to speak, his speech was very slurred and his breath smelled strongly of alcohol.

The Tucson Fire Department was called to the room and began to give medical attention to the student. Because the student was not responding to any questions, TFD called an ambulance to have him transported to the UA Medical Center for extreme intoxication. The next morning, the officer met with the student at UAMC and found him conscious and responsive. The student confirmed that he had consumed alcohol the previous night. He, however, would not say specifically how much he drank or where he drank. He just said he “drank a lot at a friend’s house.”

The RA took the officer to the room in question, and the officer also noticed the smell of marijuana coming from the room. The officer knocked on the door several times before a resident of the room responded.

When the door was opened, the smell of marijuana became stronger. The resident, his roommate and two other students were inside the room. The officer asked to speak with the residents inside the room, but the first resident said that he felt more comfortable speaking in the hallway. The officer said it was fine to speak in the hallway and spoke with each of the four students separately.

Three of the students denied smoking marijuana in the room. The first resident, however, said that while he had not been smoking marijuana, his roommates may have been.

The resident consented to a search of his side of the room. The officer found a broken glass pipe and a nail clipper bearing burn marks inside the common bathroom shared with another room. The roommate would not consent to a search of his side of the room. The two

When asked again if they would mind the room being searched, the students exchanged glances, and one retrieved the bag from the desk and handed it to the first officer.

Inside the bag was a joint, unrolled marijuana and a grinder. The first student admitted to buying six grams of marijuana for $50 and smoking two times a week.

The student was read his Miranda rights and asked if he understood them, but replied, “Not entirely.” The officer then reread his Miranda rights and explained them to him.

The officers told the resident that they were here because of the strong odor of marijuana in his room.

He replied, “I don’t want to shit you; I have some,” and gave the officers a circular container with marijuana buds, two glass bongs with a visible residue of drugs and an orange prescription bottle with traces of dope in it.

The student began crying and admitted she had been drinking. The student was then cited for minor in possession and referred for public urination.

While the officer was dealing with the first student, the officer saw another woman in the parking lot of the sorority house with a Four Loko. Unable to confront the woman, the officer yelled at her to pour out the alcohol.

She did not comply, and the officer once again yelled at her to pour out the contents of the can. About five minutes later, the woman still had the Four Loko, and the officer approached her. When the woman noticed the officer coming toward her, she quickly tossed the can under a nearby truck and told the officer she had just been holding it for a friend.

The officer could not find any drugs or paraphernalia on the woman, but did discover a flask of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey in her purse. The woman admitted that the flask contained “Honey Jack.”

The man said he did not want to get his fellow student in trouble, but produced a multicolored glass pipe with marijuana still in the bowl. When asked if it belonged to the woman, he simply nodded his head.

He then pulled out a Batman flask with his name written on it and handed it over to the officer, saying that it contained vodka. After submitting to further searching, a full 50 mL bottle of SKYY Vodka was found in his right jacket pocket.

When the woman noticed that the man had given the pipe up to the police, she consented to a search, and a small baggie with half a gram of dope was found in her jacket pocket.

The officers approached the students, who smelled strongly of alcohol, and attempted to question them, but the woman who had fallen kept telling her friend, “Don’t tell them anything,” so they had to be separated and questioned individually.

56

The woman was very argumentative and defensive and would not submit to either a Breathalyzer or other intoxication tests, insisting that she was not drunk despite her slurred speech, red, watery eyes and difficulty walking. She refused to give any personal information besides her name and date of birth, and said she did not want to answer any questions. The woman kept repeatedly asking to speak with her father, even though the officer informed her that she was an adult and did not need her father for the situation she was in and that she could speak with him after the investigation.

The officer then cited her for minor in possession, but the woman did not want to sign the citation, and only did so when told that she could be booked into jail if she didn’t.

The second student was much more cooperative, and told the second officer that she and her friend had been at a party off campus drinking Vitali Vodka straight out of the bottle. She admitted to being drunk and was cited for minor in possession.

February 26 A UA student was transported to the University of Arizona Medical Center for extreme intoxication on Sunday at 1:50 a.m. A University of Arizona Police Department officer arrived at Gila Residence Hall to check on the welfare of a student. The on­duty resident assistant met the officer and took him to a room on the third floor. In the room, the officer found a student lying on the bed and vomiting into a trash can while her roommate held her hair. The student told the officer she had taken two Jell­O shots at an on­campus party, but she would not say exactly where the party had been.

The student was disoriented and slow to answer the officer’s questions. She also had red, watery eyes, slurred speech and alcohol on her breath. Tucson Fire Department arrived at the room and determined that she needed to be transported to UAMC.

The student was then diverted to the Dean of Students Office for underage drinking.

February 27 A UA student was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia on Monday around 1 a.m. A University of Arizona Police Department officer who was out of uniform noticed two students passing a marijuana joint back and forth near the grassy area next to the UA Campus Health Center. After calling for backup, the officer approached the students. The students were informed of their rights, identified and then interviewed separately about the marijuana. The first student admitted that there had been marijuana in his joint, but said that there was none left. When asked where he had gotten the marijuana, he said, “I got it from a friend. Just a friend.”

57

He also told the officer that he had a pipe in his room and said, “I used it to smoke weed like two weeks ago.”

Because of this information, an officer asked the student to take him to his room and relinquish the smoking pipe, which had visible residue of burnt marijuana.

The second student told the officer that it was not his weed but his friend’s, and he was not in possession of any marijuana himself.

Both students admitted to receiving diversion before. The student and his friend were referred to the Dean of Students Office.

A UA student was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana at about 2:30 p.m.

After smelling marijuana coming out of a room in Pueblo de la Cienega Residence Hall, a resident assistant contacted UAPD. Two officers then arrived and knocked on the door.

The student living in that room opened the door, looking as if he had just woken up. The student was not cooperative and claimed that he was sick. He said there wasn’t any marijuana in his room and that he could not smell it. He said that the officers could search his room, but only after he made sure that his roommate’s belongings were on the other side.

After saying this, the student placed a backpack on his roommate’s bed, saying that the bag was his roommate’s. The student claimed he did not know what was in the backpack, but he was very adamant that it was not his. He then stepped into the hall to call his roommate and his lawyer.

However, once the student called his roommate, one of the officers got on the phone with him. The roommate said that the backpack was not his but the first student’s. The first student then confessed to owning the backpack and the marijuana inside of it.

The officers searched the bag, which contained three plastic baggies full of marijuana. The total amount of marijuana inside the bags was 35.2 grams. After the substance tested positive for marijuana, it was placed into UAPD property and evidence.

February 28 A UA student was cited for consuming liquor in public and underage drinking on Monday at around 2:31 a.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a loud noise near Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall. When he approached the area, he saw the student sitting on the curb next to Colonia de la Paz, drinking from a green glass bottle. The student threw the bottle about 20 feet when he saw the officer approaching.

The officer spoke with him about littering and the student apologized. However, the officer noticed that the student’s speech was extremely slurred, his eyes were bloodshot and he smelled strongly of alcohol.

After the student stated that he was 18 years old, the officer called for backup to perform a breath test. At this point, the student became increasingly argumentative.

58

The student then got in a track and field stance and appeared as though he was trying to flee the scene, but the officers were able to get him to sit down and comply. He then tried to flee the scene two more times. Due to his lack of cooperation the officer placed him under arrest for underage drinking and criminal littering.

The student started to run away but the officer was able to grab him by his shirt. He still tried to flee but was unable to break the officers grasp and ultimately was put into a headlock by the officer.

After he was finally arrested, the student said “Good for you, you got a guy with a warrant!”

The student was placed in the back of a UAPD patrol car and the officer returned to the scene for evidence. The green bottle was found as well as three marijuana joints.

The student was read his Miranda Rights, which he acknowledged. He said that he was drinking liquor that someone purchased for him and that he knew you had to be 21 to legally drink. However, he stated that the marijuana joints were not his.

The student was arrested at the scene and booked into Pima County Jail.

March 3 Two UA students were cited for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia at 11:36 p.m. at the Arizona­Sonora Residence Hall on Feb. 22.

A resident assistant contacted the University of Arizona Police Department when he received an anonymous tip that a resident of Arizona­Sonora and his friend were smoking marijuana in his room.

The UAPD officer arrived on the scene and could clearly smell marijuana from the room. A resident answered the door when the officer knocked. The student had red, bleary eyes, appeared disoriented and had trouble talking coherently.

The resident claimed that there was nothing illegal in his room, but said he didn’t want the officer to search through his belongings. When the officer asked him if he didn’t want to be searched because he had illegal objects in his room, the resident suspiciously glanced back at something in his room.

The officer told the resident that he knew there was marijuana in the room because he could smell it. At that point, the resident’s friend told him, “Just give them the stuff, man.”

The resident then went to the spot he had looked at when the officer asked him if he had anything illegal and retrieved a glass jar containing a green, leafy substance. The material tested positive for marijuana and weighed in at about 8.6 grams.

The resident also dug out a glass bong that had been hidden behind a chair and gave it to the officer. The officer noticed that the friend also had bloodshot eyes when they were speaking.

However, the resident and his friend refused to answer any questions when asked if they were smoking.

The two were cited and diverted to the Dean of Students Office. The marijuana and bong were placed into evidence.

On Feb. 21, two U.S. Postal Inspection Service inspectors asked for assistance in regards to a package that was sent to a UA student.

The USPIS inspectors contacted UAPD because they had intercepted a package addressed to a resident of Coronado Residence Hall containing about 4.5 pounds of marijuana.

A UAPD officer and the inspectors were taken to the room occupied by the resident, but no one answered after knocking on the door. They began checking study rooms in search for the resident, and overheard a student talking to the resident on the phone.

Although the student initially denied talking to the resident, he admitted to doing so when told that his resident assistant had heard him. The student then confessed to telling the resident that “cops were at his door.” He claimed that he had no knowledge of the package containing marijuana.

At the time of this report, the officer and inspectors were unable to make contact with the suspect resident.

March 4 A student was arrested on a charge of a warrant for possession of marijuana on Feb. 22 at 2:25 a.m. Two UAPD officers responded to Villa del Puente Residence Hall in regards to a report of the smell of marijuana.

A resident assistant escorted the two officers to room 271 where the faint smell of marijuana was detected. A male student answered the door, and two others were inside the room with him.

The smell grew stronger as the officers entered the room, so they asked to do a search. The students allowed a search, and no marijuana was found.

The officers did a records check on the three students and found that one had a confirmed misdemeanor warrant for possession of marijuana. The student was handcuffed, searched, placed in the back of a patrol car and transported to Pima County Jail.

March 5 A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for underage drinking on Feb. 21.

The University of Arizona Police Department responded after an officer saw a woman and man helping another woman walk down Highland Avenue near Villa del Puente Residence Hall around midnight.

The officer approached the group and asked them if everything was OK. The two people helping the student said that they did not know who the woman was, but they saw her sitting outside of Alpha Phi and did not think it was a good idea to leave her all alone.

The other two left after the officer began to speak to the student. The officer asked the student for identification, noticing that her eyes were extremely bloodshot and watery, and that she was having a hard time speaking. She was also having trouble standing and her breath smelled strongly of intoxicants.

60

The student said she had been drinking heavily and that she wanted to get back home to Villa del Puente. She told the officer that her roommate would be there to take care of her, but when they arrived her roommate was not there.

The officer noticed that the student had several cuts and bruises on her shoulders and legs from falling on the walk home and decided to contact Tucson Fire Department. When TFDpersonnel arrived, they concluded that she needed to be transported to the University of Arizona Medical Center for extreme intoxication.

When the student was coherent, she said she had been drinking large amounts of hard liquor but could not recall what kind of liquor, or where she was consuming it.

The student was treated and diverted to the Dean of Students Office.

The student was cleared by paramedics and his friend took him home. A Code of Conduct form was completed and sent to the Dean of Students Office.

March 12 A UA student was taken to University of Arizona Medical Center for extreme intoxication on Feb. 28.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call and arrived at Arizona­Sonora Residence Hall at 1 a.m. to find the student already being cared for by University Emergency Medical Services. The student had soiled herself and was covered in her own feces, but when UEMS attempted to evaluate her she began resisting treatment by swinging her arms towards them. The officer noticed that her eyes were bloodshot and watery.

The student was taken to UAMC. When the officer arrived three hours later to follow up with the student, he found her asleep. He was told by a nurse that the student’s blood had tested positive for alcohol.

When the officer returned again two hours later, he found the student still asleep. He was told by the nurse that the student had been sedated upon her arrival, because she was trying to kick the medical staff.

A UAPD officer responded to reports of a marijuana odor in Maricopa. Upon approaching the room suspected to be the source of the smell, the officer noticed a strong odor of aerosol air freshener.

The officer knocked at the door and identified himself. The resident took approximately five minutes to open door. She allowed the officer to enter her room, where he observed pipes containing what appeared to be marijuana residue.

The student said she had been smoking marijuana and proclaimed that is was a “way of life” for her. She also presented the officer with a box of paraphernalia, including a scale, a baggy and a “shaker.” The student also handed over what appeared to be a jar containing marijuana.

After receiving a tip, two University of Arizona Police Department officers arrived at the parking garage to investigate possible marijuana use. They discovered three students hiding behind a dumpster with a strong smell of marijuana around them.

When asked what they were doing, the students refused to respond. An officer noticed a plastic Skippy peanut butter jar on the ground, and asked what was in it. Once again, the students didn’t respond.

At this point, another officer arrived on the scene. He reported that as he walked toward the parking garage, he had seen a plastic baggie falling through the air. The officer had opened the bag, discovered it contained marijuana and a pipe, and joined the other officers in the garage.

Two of the three students admitted to smoking marijuana, but one claimed that the pipe in question was not the one they’d been smoking from, and his was darker in color.

A second student claimed that he did not see who tossed the pipe off the garage but said it was not him. He did admit that all three of them had been smoking from that particular pipe.

An officer noticed a bulge in the pocket of the third student, who refused a search and claimed to not have been smoking marijuana. The officer then asked the third student to stick out his tongue, which he did, and noticed that it was covered in a green frothy film, a condition known as “cottonmouth,” which sometimes results after marijuana use.

The officers then investigated the suspicious peanut butter jar and found it contained 1.6 grams of marijuana, a grinder and a lighter.

The three students were then cited and released for possession of marijuana. The student who had admitted to smoking from the pipe but did not know who threw it over the edge of the garage was cited and released for possession of drug paraphernalia.

The officer asked the student why the alarm had gone off, and the student said he didn’t know, claiming that he was in the shower when he heard the alarm. However, the officer noticed that

63

he did not look like he had just gotten out of the shower and observed that the student was drinking an excessive amount of water and had raised taste buds and red glassy eyes.

The student did not allow the officer to search his room, but there appeared to be a small green stem on the desk that the student was sitting on. The student insisted that the desk was his roommate’s, who had left for spring break.

The student then became very uncooperative, refusing to speak to the officer. He said that he was done being interrogated.

The Dean of Students Office was notified and the student received a code of conduct referral because he would not allow his room to be searched.

The smoke detector was replaced and the system reset.

The officer approached the male student and asked for identification. The student was swaying from side to side, had red watery eyes and had the smell of alcohol on his breath.

With slow, slurred speech, the student asked the officer why he was being stopped. The office said he could smell the alcohol on the student’s breath and asked him if he had been drinking.

The student said he had been drinking and that he was only 19 years old. He told the officer he had drunk four shots of vodka and juice at home, around 2:15 p.m., before heading to class.

The officer asked the student if he had taken any pills with the alcohol and requested a horizontal gaze nystagmus test. The student showed six of the six cues, indicating that his blood alcohol content was over .08.

The student had many mood swings while speaking to the UAPD officers. He told them where he lived but flipped off the officers and shook his head at other questions, including when he was asked where he had been drinking and how much he had drunk.

The officers and TFD escorted the student back to his room, but he was very confrontational. TFD medically cleared the student and left, and the UAPD officers advised him that he would be contacted by the Dean of Students Office.

While they were speaking, the student got up and cursed at the officers, yelling, “Get … out of my room!” He continued cursing at the officers until they left.

As they were walking away, the student came into the hallway from his room and made derogatory remarks at the officers while flipping them off.

When the officers entered the room the smell became stronger, so they asked the student if she had been smoking marijuana.

The student said she had been smoking about 20 minutes before they arrived. She said there was no marijuana left in the room because she had smoked it all.

When asked if there was any paraphernalia in the room the student replied saying no, that she had emptied out the cigars and used the paper to smoke the marijuana.

The man was yelling, “Get away from me! Get this crazy bitch away from me! She won’t go away.” Two other officers arrived on the scene to assist.

The student and the man had supposedly been arguing about the student’s friends, and the student said she was “trying to protect them.” The student’s eyes were watery and bloodshot, and she was slurring her words. The student asked why the officers were there and what she had done. An officer asked her what she thought she was in trouble for, and she replied, “Drinking, big deal. Everybody in the party is [drinking], and they are drunk.”

The officer told her she was going to be arrested for underage drinking and they were going to get her home safely.

However, while completing the paperwork for her citation, the student refused to sign the ticket multiple times.

A UAPD officer noticed about 15 people congregating around an entrance to a fraternity house on Cherry Avenue at approximately 3 a.m. on Friday. The house seemed noisy, suggesting there were a lot of people inside.

The officer checked the Greek Life calendar of events, and saw there was not a registered party at that address or time. The officer tried to get in contact with someone at the house, but when the people saw the officer, they all ran quickly into the house to avoid him. He then began to shine his light inside the house and saw about 100 people in a room.

When they saw the light, all the people consuming alcohol either dropped or tried to hide it from the officer. The crowd then began to retreat to a different part of the house that was out of sight.

The officer found a resident of the house and asked for the president of the fraternity to come outside and speak with him. The president came to speak with the officer and told him there were about 86 people in the house. The officer told the president of the house that there appeared to be underage drinking going on and that it appeared to be a violation of GAMMA rules.

The officers approached the student, who had made it to Warren Avenue, and they noticed his breath smelled strongly of alcohol, he had red, watery eyes and he continued having difficulty maintaining his balance. The student told the officer he was 20 years old.

The student said he had consumed about five to six Keystone Light beers at a friend’s house and that he received the beer there.

The man was staring toward Sixth Street and did not change his expression when the officers pulled up near him. An officer approached him, and after being asked twice if he was OK, the man finally acknowledged the officer, who was now 2 feet away from him, and said he was OK. The officer could smell alcohol coming from the man’s breath. The man then swayed and almost fell into the officer.

The officers asked the man for identification, and he took out his wallet and showed them an Arizona driver’s license. When the wallet was open, an officer noticed an Oregon driver’s license as well. The man admitted that he was not 21 years old, but would not say where or how much he had drunk. A records check showed the man was a UA student.

The student admitted that Oregon driver’s license, which listed his age as 21, was fake. The student continually put his hands in his pockets, despite the officers telling him to keep his hands out where they could see them. The student then began cursing and yelling at the officers. He refused to say where he lived and refused to call a cab to take him home.

The student then began spitting and became argumentative with officers. He shouted that he knew his rights and that the officers were harassing him. The officers then arrested the student for minor in possession and possessing a fake out­of­state license and took him to Pima County Jail. During the drive, the student continued cursing at the officers and shouting that he would sue them if they didn’t pull over. The student continued this behavior when they arrived at the jail, and Pima County Corrections officers took him into booking early.

The fake Oregon driver’s license was placed into evidence and a Code of Conduct violation was completed to be forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.

May 1 A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for being a minor in possession of alcohol on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers were sent to check on a man on the corner of Cherry Avenue and University Boulevard who was stumbling around and seemed distraught. As the officers approached, they noticed the man trip and fell onto a bench.

When they reached the man, the officers asked him what was wrong. The man said that he’d gotten in a fight with his girlfriend at a date dash and looked as if he was about to cry. As the officers talked to the man, they noticed that his eyes appeared watery and bloodshot, and his speech was slurred.

The officers then asked the man if he’d been drinking. He replied, “Yes, but just only a little,” and claimed that he’d only had two shots of vodka at Delta Tau Delta fraternity house.

The student was then informed that he would be referred to the Dean of Students Office and was taken back to his room at Arizona­Sonora Residence Hall.

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for being a minor in possession at 2:40 p.m. on Saturday.

A UAPD officer noticed a man wearing shorts, a Hawaiian shirt and a towel stumbling as he crossed the street to First Street and Highland Avenue. Finding it suspicious, the officer followed the man until he was sighted again, urinating on the side of the Chi Omega sorority house. The officer could not directly see this because there was a shrub blocking the view, but the officer could tell that his hands were near his crotch. Several seconds later, the man tilted his head back and let out a big sigh, and then began moving his right arm in a forward to back motion.

The officer then requested another officer to perform a welfare check on the man after he left the sorority house. Before tracking down the suspect, the officer investigated the scene where the man was believed to have urinated and observed “liquid spray” on the wall of the sorority house that slightly smelled of urine.

The man was finally stopped near Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall by another officer, who could smell alcohol on the man’s breath. The officer then read the man his Miranda Rights, and asked him if he understood. He replied, “Yeah.”

To confirm the man understood, the officer asked, “Does that mean yes?” The man responded with, “Yes.”

The man was asked where he was coming from, but could not remember. The officer had to repeat the question multiple times before the man remembered that he had come from the Kappa Sigma fraternity house. The man claimed he had only drank “a little beer.” When asked to be more specific, the man said he had drank three to four Coors beers around 1:30 p.m. and had gotten the alcohol from some friends that were over 21.

The man was then diverted to the Dean of Students Office for being a minor in possession of alcohol.

May 5 A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for a minor in possession of alcohol on April 25 around 2 a.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer stopped when he saw a student walking at the intersection of Cherry Avenue and First Street. The student was walking in circles, which caused a delay in traffic.

The officer observed the student for a minute and saw him attempt to get into a vehicle that wasn’t his as if trying to hail a cab. The car drove off immediately. The student then stood in the middle of the crosswalk, stopping traffic for 15 seconds.

The officer approached the student and noticed that he was swaying, and could smell a very strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath. The officer asked him if he felt he needed medical attention and he said he was fine. The student told the officer that he has been drinking at Delta Tau Delta and was now looking for his friend. The student could not remember where his friend lived or where he was supposed to meet her.

The officer asked how old the man was and he said he was 20. The officer then asked to see some identification. The student pulled his Arizona drivers license out of his left pocket, looked at it, then put it in his right pocket and told the officer he didn’t have any identification on him. The officer then told the student that he saw it in his hand, and the student gave the officer the license.

The student apologized and said he had no idea what he was doing and just wanted to go home. The officer reminded him that the legal drinking age was 21, and told him he needed to find a sober driver to take him home because he could not disrupt traffic. The student then called a friend to come pick him up.

The student was diverted for a minor in possession of alcohol.

May 6 Four UA students were diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia on April 28.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call from Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall. A resident assistant led the officer to a room from which the smell of burning marijuana was coming. A man could be seen through a window lighting what appeared to be a pipe.

When the door was opened, the officer saw there were three other men also in the room. After identifying all four students, the officer noticed a grinder and hose with burnt residue in plain view.

The officer asked one of the students where the rest of the materials were and the students brought out a vaporizer from the closet and a small baggie with marijuana and rolling papers from the desk. The students gave all of the materials to the officer.

The officer noticed all four students had bloodshot eyes. They explained where they got the vaporizer and marijuana from, and all four admitted that they had smoked the marijuana.

The officer informed the students they would be diverted through the Dean of Students Office.
