Freakin Pot Heads- Draft

Two UW-Oshkosh students were cited for possession of drug paraphernalia and possession marijuana Friday on the fifth floor of North Scott Hall.

Officers Trent Morgan and Brian Murphy responded to a call from Eric Schneeweis, an eigth floor duty Community Advisor, concerning a strong odor of marijuana at 1:46 a.m. Murphy arrived on the scene to meet with the duty CA who had already attempted to make contact with the residents in room 561. After minutes of delay, resident Alex J. Miller, 18, allowed Murphy into the room to do a search for suspected marijuana usage. Murphy found a bag of marijuana and a scale which Miller uses to weigh marijuana in his closet. According to the police report, Miller said that both items belonged to him. Miller also had a hand-blown glass marijuana pipe that was discovered by Morgan in his room.

Morgan interviewed Miller’s neighbors David A. Muhasky Jr.,18 and Ross M. Street, 18 and found that Muhasky had also been smoking marijuana in Miller’s room earlier. Morgan stated that Muhasky had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and lethargic movements but registered a 0.00% blood alcohol content. He was cited for use of marijuana and was released. Street also admitted to smoking marijuana in Miller’s room earlier. Street admitted to owning the glass pipe in Miller’s room that Morgan had confiscated. Street also confessed to having three shots of whiskey at a house party and he had a 0.077% alcohol level. Street was cited for use of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia but was only given a verbal warning for underage drinking which could have been his second offense.

In attempts to reach Miller for an interview, I was denied such access.
