Police Beat

Published on October 23, 2007 by The Sentinel

    On Oct. 9, a KSU police officer was dispatched to University
Village to investigate the smell of marijuana. After locating the
smell, the officer was let into the room by one of the residents.

  The officer had all of the residents of the apartment sit in the
living room. A couple of the residents stated that they had smoked a
few hours before, but still had “sunken eye lids with very bloodshot
eyes.” After the officer located the marijuana, one of the residents
proceeded to beg the officer to let the incident slide. Two of the
residents were arrested.

    An officer went to University Village because of a
report of large birds in one of the study rooms Oct. 10.  When he
arrived, the officer saw that the window was open, and, in fact, there
were two white birds in the room. Animal control was called to the
scene.

    An officer responded to an injury report Oct. 11 on
the intramurals field. When he arrived, he observed a male lying on the
ground groaning in pain. The officer spoke with a bystander and he said
that the subject was tackled during a football and hurt his arm. The
officer called for an ambulance. The medical personnel advised the
officer that the subject had a broken or dislocated left shoulder. He
was taken to Kennestone Hospital.      

    An officer was on patrol Oct. 12 when he noticed
some suspicious action at University Place. With the windows down in
his patrol car, he heard a loud crash. He saw three males and one
female walking briskly away from the site between two vehicles on
Campus Loop Rd. He stopped the four subjects and questioned them about
the beer. They told the officer that the case was “in the bushes.” One
of the subjects retrieved the box containing broken Miller Lite beer
bottles. Three of the four subjects stated that they had been drinking.
None of the subjects were over 21. The officer questioned where they
got the beer and the underage subjects stated “QT just sold it to
them.” The subject who stated he was not drinking was the only KSU
student in the group. The other three were cited for underage alcohol
consumption and received a warning for criminal trespassing.

     A female subject visited the North Precinct
Oct. 12 to file a report about harassing communications. She told the
officer that she had been having problems with her roommate, stating
that she does not feel comfortable in her own apartment on campus. She
claimed that her roommate harasses her, yells at her and intimidates
her and her friends. She also said that her roommate’s boyfriend stays
at their apartment about three nights a week and has scared her. The
subject has spoken with the RA and the RA ordered both girls to stop
having guests. The officer told the complainant that if her roommate
harasses her again to contact the KSU Police.
