Schnurr fires again

11:48 p.m. – A UMPD officer stopped a vehicle near DTAV after the radar caught the student driving 15 miles over the posted speed limit. Driving the car was first-year student Jacob Schnurr, a student living in Oxford Hall. Upon the stop, the officer detected a strong odor of marijuana and noticed a visible amount of marijuana sitting in Schnurr’s lap. The officer then called for backup from another UMPD officer. Upon arrival, the driver and passenger were told to exit the vehicle while the officers searched it. There was residue of marijuana found in the cup holders, on the seats and on the floor mats. The search also turned up a grinder and a glass pipe. Neither student had a medical marijuana card. Schnurr was summonsed for illegal possession of paraphernalia and marijuana.
