An IUS Police officer was alerted by two students of two men in Forest Lodge at 4:12 a.m. The students reported the men were being loud and asking students if they wanted to buy some weed.
Upon arrival, the officer found seven people crowded around an illegally parked car, including two males that met the description of the two suspects.
The two men were visiting a female student who lived in the dorms. One also informed the officer that a different female dorm resident “better be up there showering so I can go back up and hit that.” He then informed the officer of how much he wished he “had weed to smoke.”
The male continued to talk about how “gangster he was, drugs, sex and how bulls—t all this was.”
Police cited all seven people for trespassing and banned them from campus for 180 days. When cited, the vocal male asked the officer if it was “180 business days or just 180 days.”
The female student eventually came back down, and took the two males, another friend and the friend’s two children home.
The student was informed that she would be hearing from the vice-chancellor’s office.
