Harsh toke for repeat offender
One dorm student was reported for marijuana possession on Aug. 28, 29 and 30 at the Residential Learning College, according to Captain Fernando Solorzano. On Aug. 28, he was cited for possessing less than an ounce, a misdemeanor, and then reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs. On Aug. 29, police found marijuana in his already opened room. Since the student was not there, no report was filed. On Aug. 30, he was again cited for less than an ounce of marijuana and reported to judicial affairs.
The Office of Judicial Affairs refers students who are caught with marijuana to the Student Health Services. Students must attend a workshop and a one-on-one counseling session for the first two alcohol, marijuana or other drug offenses. Upon third offense, students will be removed from the dorms and the Office of Judicial Affairs will decide whether the student should be suspended for one year or expelled from the Cal State University system.
