Possible cocaine use

On Oct. 27, officers went to South Foundation about a student that may have used narcotics in class. The professor told officers that after the class, students told her they witnessed a student “snort a white powder off the desk top.” The student reportedly had been acting different. Officers examined the desk and saw a small area of a residue but not enough for a narcotics test. Officers told the professor to call OUPD if the student showed any more strange behavior.
