Drug violations

On Oct. 1, a Weber State University police officer was dispatched to a drug violation call at Wildcat Village. Someone had notified the housing staff that one of their roommates had marijuana in the dorm room. The officer searched the living spaces but found no evidence. The officer informed the students that it was illegal and that if they were in possession of any marijuana, they should not bring it to campus.

Once the officer reached the patrol car, three of the roommates came outside to notify him that the other roommate had hidden the illegal substance and was openly smoking it. They were advised to keep reporting each occurrence to the Resident Assistant staff, and an officer would return at each report to address the issue.

Dog on the loose

On Oct. 4, a WSUPD officer responded to a call from the Browning Center that a dog was on the loose. When the officer arrived, they were informed that the dog’s leash broke, allowing the dog to take off and leaving the owner to chase it down. The owner was told to be careful next time and to keep the dog on a leash.
