Marijuana use investigated in the student apartments

A student was arrested for marijuana use on Monday, Jan. 9 at 2:20 p.m. Police were called to the Matthews Court Apartments for an odor investigation. Upon arriving at the female subject’s apartment, police smelled marijuana. Police entered the apartment and found a bag of marijuana and several cigars on a table. The student admitted to filling the cigars with marijuana and had smoked approximately three marijuana-filled cigars before the police had arrived. The subject was arrested, issued a citation for marijuana use and later released. OUPD confiscated the marijuana and cigars.

Suspicious activity reported outside of Hamlin Hall

On Friday, Jan. 13 at approximately 3:40 a.m., police were called to the Hamlin Hall area after several complainants of possible gunshots or loud explosions. Police checked the area for possible subjects involved. No subjects were found but police did find seven pop bottles along the south side of the building. OUPD believed these bottles were used as “bottle bombs” or something similar.  Five of the bottles had already exploded and the remaining bottles were live. Police relocated the bottles to a nearby ravine where they would not hurt anyone nearby. No injuries or damages were reported and there are currently no suspects.
MIP issued at Hamlin Hall

OUPD arrived at Hamlin Hall on Sunday, Jan. 15 at 1:15 a.m. when several members of the housing staff noticed loud music and what sounded like people playing “beer pong.” Upon entering, police noticed a partial bottle of rum in the common area closet. The six occupants completed preliminary breath tests and all results were .000. The students told police they were playing “beer pong,” but with water instead. One male occupant handed officers several bottles of rum and one full can of beer that he said belonged to him. The male student received a minor in possession citation and all of the alcohol was disposed of.
