Too Stoned to Drive
Officer Massengill was dispatched to the site of an accident on Frey road the morning of Sept. 21. The driver of the first vehicle said her steering wheel locked up, causing her to drift into oncoming traffic. The second driver said she was traveling in the far right lane when she saw the other vehicle coming toward her. She attempted to avoid the collision but could not. The woman was transported to Kennestone Hospital to be treated for injuries. While filling out an impound sheet for the wrecked vehicle that caused the accident, Officer Hammond noticed the odor of burnt marijuana. Massengill asked the woman who was driving if there was anything in her car the officers should know about. She said there was not. After obtaining permission from the woman, a search of the vehicle was conducted. Altman observed the driver pull a cigarette case from her purse and noted that she was behaving strangely. An inspection of the cigarette case revealed marijuana along with a pipe. The woman was taken to the hospital for potential injuries and advised to contact dispatch upon release. Officers ended up having to go to the driver’s parents’ house in order to bring the woman into custody.
Temper Tantrum
Officer Shepherd responded to a call about an unruly student in Prillaman Hall on the afternoon of Sept. 13. The student reportedly failed a competency exam to remain in the Nursing program twice and subsequently threw a tantrum. The student reportedly laid down on the floor and began screaming and kicking her feet in the air. The woman, who was crying and stomping her feet, then pretended she was going to remove her pants. Officer Shepherd located the student, who said that she failed the exam twice and was very upset, but she did not mean to alarm anyone. The student was advised to wait a while before heading home and there was no further incident.
