Clean Steal
An officer was dispatched to the Town Point offices on Feb. 13 at 3:41 p.m. in reference to a stolen iPad 2. The officer met with an employee who said that her boss had asked her to go into her office and get her iPad 2 and Otterbox so she could set them up. When the complainant looked in the office she did not see the iPad or Otterbox. She advised the officer that they recently switched cleaning companies and that one of the keys from a key ring she keeps in her desk drawer was missing when she came in to work that morning. The stolen items are valued at $558.
A Costly Mistake
An officer observed a driver not wearing his seatbelt on Campus Loop Road on Feb. 15 around 1:28 p.m. and conducted a traffic stop. The officer could smell raw marijuana when he approached the vehicle, and he asked the driver to step to the rear of the vehicle. The driver admitted to having marijuana in his center console and gave the officer permission to search the vehicle. The officer located the marijuana and arrested the driver.
Responsible Roommate Award
Two officers were dispatched to the University Village Suites dorms on Feb 15 at 4:34 p.m. in reference to a student’s report that her roommate was smoking marijuana. When they arrived to the dorm, the complainant was waiting outside and told them that her roommate had just finished smoking and was in the shower. The officers knocked on the bathroom door and advised her to get dressed, which she did. When asked if she had been smoking marijuana, she did not respond. She gave the officers permission to search her room, but ended up relinquishing a glass pipe and a clear plastic bag with marijuana in it herself. The officer also noticed containers of alcohol in her open drawer. The officers asked the roommate how old she was, to which she responded “19.” She was arrested for possession of marijuana and possession of alcohol by a minor.
9 Times 2 Many
An officer was dispatched to Marietta Drive in reference to a female screaming in the middle of the road on Feb. 17 at 2:17 a.m. Two officers arrived as backup, and they could not locate the female in question. However, a passerby stated a couple had been arguing and screaming in the South Lot. When they arrived to the lot, the officer noticed the female had difficulty standing and smelled strongly of alcohol. The female stated that she had found out that her ex-boyfriend, the male in the parking lot, had been with another girl that night while she was at a party. The officers had the female blow into the Alco-Sensor and called an ambulance due to the results. As another officer began talking to the male, the female stated there were two females passed out from alcohol in her University Place apartment. The officers arrived there and a female resident opened the door, saying that she had put the two girls to bed and that they seemed to be fine. The officers tried knocking on their doors and yelling, but the girls were unresponsive. The officers eventually found out that the girls had had 9 shots each, and there was also a nearly empty bottle of rum in the kitchen. All three girls were arrested.
