Mardi Grass

The skunk-like smell filled the nostrils of OUPD officers on three separate occasions last week when they charged three people with possession of controlled substances of marijuana. Two other people were charged with possession of marijuana paraphernalia.

Working for the Weekend and Also Thursday

All of the OUPD’s alcohol offenses occurred last week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Two people were cited for underage consumption, and two others were cited for disorderly conduct due to intoxication. Both underage consumption citations occurred in residence halls. One of the people cited for underage consumption was also cited for possessing a fake ID.

One citation was issued to a driver who was in an accident near Nelson Dining Hall for failing to yield. Two drivers were cited for expired vehicle registration. And finally, one person was caught driving on a suspended license and another person was cited for not wearing a seatbelt.
