LSD, DMT found in student’s backpack
SATURDAY, Aug. 26, 4:05 p.m. — An officer on patrol in Parking Lot O1 noticed the smell of marijuana coming from the woods near College-in-the-Woods, Reilly said. The officer entered the wooded area and observed several students smoking a green, leafy substance that appeared to be the source of the odor. The officer approached the students and identified them as a 19-year-old male, an 18-year-old female and a 19-year-old female. Their actions led the officer to believe they were under the influence of drugs. The officer asked the students if they had been smoking marijuana, and they said yes. The officer asked the students if they had any more marijuana on their persons. One of the female students admitted to having a marijuana joint in her purse. The male student admitted that there was more marijuana in his backpack. Upon searching the purse, the officer located and confiscated the joint.
