Marijuana
Officers followed the smell of marijuana to a dorm room on the ninth floor of Pearce Hall where six students were gathered. The occupant denied a search on the basis that there was no marijuana in the room and explained that the smell must have come from an individual who had just left the room. He refused to give the identity of the individual because this person is not allowed on campus. The occupant was then referred to Student Rights and Responsibilities.
