Marijuana use in West Vandenberg Hall

Police officers were dispatched to West Vandenberg Hall Jan. 8 at 1:05 p.m. for an odor investigation call.

Officers arrived on scene and made contact with the complainant who said people in a dorm room have smoked marijuana a few times before, and he just decided to call OUPD.

An officer made contact with a male student in the room. Upon entering his dorm room,  police detected the faint odor of marijuana.

They asked the student if he had been smoking in his room, and he said he did not but was unsure if his roommate had.

After searching the room, police found marijuana residue on the window sill.

Police searched the student’s dresser and found no contraband, but found a pill bottle with marijuana in it on a different dresser.

Police confiscated the container, which belonged to the student’s roommate and contained marijuana in it.

The roommate came to OU Police Department  Jan. 9 at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the matter.

When asked about the pill bottle, he admitted to smoking marijuana in the past.

The student said he signed up for a Narcotics Anonymous class through housing and was issued a misdemeanor citation for marijuana use.

 

Forced entry in Ann V. Nicholson Apartments

Police responded to the Ann V. Nicholson Apartment complex Jan 9 at 5:44 p.m. for a breaking and entering report.

The female student told police she and her roommate had trouble entering their apartment, and the door was still closed and locked when she returned.

The two roommates noticed it was bent and the frame of the door had two pry marks. The wood frame was cracked and split.

The student told police nothing was missing from the apartment, and she was unsure if the incident happened that day because she had trouble opening the door since Jan. 7.

She said she only noticed the damage today because she had to use force to enter her apartment.

The manager of the apartment complex was notified, and the door frame was repaired by 8:20 p.m.

The scene was cleared without further incident.

 

Reckless driving in P3

OU police officers were called to parking lot 3 for a reckless driving incident Jan. 10 on 1:15 p.m.

Dispatch was advised that a Ford Escape had collided with a Dodge Intrepid and caused damage along with another parked vehicle.

When police arrived on scene, they observed the female driver of the Ford yelling at the female driver of the Dodge.

Police observed the Ford was scraping the rear passenger side of the bumper of a Pontiac Grand Prix.

The driver of Ford said the interaction was over a  parking spot.

She said she was in front of the Human Health Building when a student walked out toward a spot to leave.

She followed the student and said that’s when the Dodge pulled out and cut her off.

When the student started to pull into the spot, the driver of the Dodge pulled in and hit her bumper.

She told police she attempted  to straighten her vehicle, but she kept getting trapped by the Dodge.

She then attempted  to pull forward and that is when she scraped the Pontiac.

The driver of the Dodge said she was in the parking lot when she saw someone walking to a parking spot.

She began to follow the student, when the driver of the Ford swerved around her to take the spot.

She then passed the driver of the Ford to continue to the follow the person, when the Ford driver swerved around her again on the left side.

The Ford skimmed the side of the Dodge, and the student said the driver of the Ford hit a parked car trying to get into the spot.

From surveillance footage of the area, it appeared the driver of the Ford was the aggressor.

The driver of the Ford was issued a misdemeanor for reckless driving.
