Illegal brownies turned over to TUPD
Officers responded to the Delta Upsilon Fraternity house's fire alarm at 114 Professors Row, at 6:49 a.m. on Nov. 18. They discovered that someone had tampered with the fire alarm. It was hanging from the ceiling with plastic placed around it to prevent it from detecting smoke.
Officers also noticed various plastic bags around the room, some of which contained a leafy, green substance. The student who resides in the room was asked to turn over all illegal paraphernalia. He produced several bags with the green, leafy substance in them, a glass pipe, and a pan of brownies.
Upon further investigation, officers found an additional bag containing marijuana in a trash bag outside of the room along with five yellow pills that were later identified as Ritalin. All of the materials were confiscated and destroyed.
