Law & Order: GWU

Up first, a theft was reported at the Lerner Health and Wellness Center. A student left his belongings in a locker, and returned to find that they were missing. A University Police sweep of lockers nearby yielded the student’s duffle bag in another locker. His wallet and cash had both been removed. Another theft in Lisner Hall: a staff member left her office unlocked and went to teach a class. She came back and found that her wallet was missing and that there were unauthorized charges on several of her credit cards.

At 1957 E Street a professor reported that he was being harassed by a non-GW student. The individual had apparently been asking repeatedly if he could audit the professor’s courses, and would not take “No” for an answer.

Ivory Tower was the scene of drug possession recently. An officer smelled marijuana on a routine patrol and called the on-call community director to the scene. In the room were 6 people, one of whom was a resident. An administrative search yielded 3.9 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, all of which were confiscated.

Another drug case, this one is Francis Scott Key. A suspicious odor led an officer to call the on-call community director who performed an administrative search of the identified room. They encountered 3 individuals in the room, two of which were residents. Among the items confiscated were 0.4 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Alcohol was also discovered and disposed of on scene.

One last drug case in Schenley Hall involving 2 individuals: a suspicious odor was reported, and the room in question was identified. A community director’s administrative search revealed that the suspicious odor was in fact a result of the 4.4 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia located in the room. All were confiscated.
