On Wednesday, March 8, at 9:15 a.m., two officers on foot patrol walked by an unoccupied and parked 1995 white Chevrolet pickup truck owned by the College on Metzger Drive.
Upon inspecting the vehicle to see if it was secured, the officers smelled what they believed to be burnt marijuana emanating from the vehicle's interior. The passenger window of the vehicle was rolled down about two inches.
At this time, one officer opened the passenger door, which could not be secured because of a broken door lock, and detected a stronger odor of marijuana. Two more officers responded to assist with the investigation.
No weapons or contraband were in plain view in the vehicle.
At 9:35 a.m., two male students arrived on the scene. The officers observed both students had glassy, bloodshot eyes. The first student told Campus Police that he and the second student had signed the van out between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. that morning, from John Carter, housekeeping supervisor.
During the interview, the second student said that the first student drove the vehicle to Green Lane Fields, where both students smoked marijuana. After smoking, the first student operated the vehicle before stopping at Eickhoff Hall for a meal break.
The first student corroborated the second student's story.
Both students were escorted to Carter's office in Wolfe Hall. They returned the truck keys and signed out of work.
There is no further information at this time.
