The officer could smell marijuana as he approached the car. The officer confronted the driver and noticed that the inside of the car smelled very strongly of marijuana. At this point, the officer had the students exit the car and proceeded to conduct a search. The three male first-year students complied. The officer found a small amount of marijuana as well as a glass pipe. Ryan Edes, 18, was charged with possession of a usable amount of marijuana while his friend John Thomas, 19, as well as Edes, were both charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

A patrolling officer was driving down Long Road when he noticed several students shoving each other on the sidewalk in front of Patch Hall. The officer pulled over to investigate and confronted the group. The officer smelled alcohol on the students and began questioning them. The officer recognized one of the members of the group but couldn’t recall his name. When questioned, the subject gave the officer several false names before the officer was able to get his actual identity. The subject was Lewiston-native Jama Ahmed, 19, a non-student who had been summonsed for trespassing in the fall of 2013. Ahmed and 19-year-old student Ryan Laverdiere were drunk and having an argument, which progressed into a shoving match. Ahmed was summonsed for possession of alcohol by consumption as well as criminal trespassing, while Laverdiere was only given a summons for possession by consumption.
