What attracted you to Eureka College?

A UAPD officer was conducting a garage check at the Tyndall Avenue Garage on Jan. 17 when he noticed four men sitting against a short wall. The officer could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from the area.

The four men were identified by two Arizona drivers’ licenses, a California license and a New Jersey license.

When asked whether or not they had been smoking, they all replied that they had been earlier.

The men said when they saw the patrol car come toward them and stop, they threw the marijuana and smoking pipe over the edge of the garage.

Another officer found the marijuana at the bottom of the ramp inside a Motrin pill bottle. The officer also found a smashed glass smoking pipe without a bowl.

The men said they had pooled money together to buy the marijuana from an unknown man at a house party off campus earlier in the week.
