On April 8, the Reporting Officer (R/O) observed a black car going 38 mph in a 20 mph zone. The R/O conducted a traffic stop and then proceeded to make contact with the suspect, asking for his license, registration and proof of insurance. The R/O noticed the odor of marijuana during the initial contact and asked the suspect if he had any marijuana in the vehicle, and he said yes.
The R/O conducted a search of the vehicle, which revealed a smoking wrap with marijuana inside and a BluntVille Cigars pack with marijuana inside. The R/O ran the suspect’s South Carolina driver’s license through NCIC and requested dispatch to run a criminal background check, which showed that the suspect’s driver’s license and criminal history were clear.
The R/O issued the suspect a citation for speeding, more than 15 but less than 25 mph over the speed limit. The suspect was not charged for his possession of marijuana. The marijuana was bagged and submitted into evidence.
On April 12, the R/O was dispatched to investigate a male subject harassing a female student. The R/O met with the victim and the witness. The victim told the R/O that the defendant was attempting to contact the victim on the phone and was also spotted outside of The Nest at University Center Apartments where the victim lives.
The victim stated that she met the defendant roughly three weeks prior and was in a relationship with him until April 6. The victim also stated that she was sent several videos and messages prior to this incident by the defendant and that she told him not to make contact with her anymore and blocked his number.
The R/O attempted to make contact with the defendant over the phone, but the defendant did not answer. A message was left on the defendant’s phone advising him to call the R/O back. The defendant will be advised to cease all contact with the victim and only return to campus for legitimate reasons, or he will face possible charges.
