The woman told the officer the three of them had been smoking marijuana, but did not want to say whose it was, police reported.
An ASU Police aide was asked to search the ground level for any contraband the three might have thrown off the roof prior to the officer’s arrival, according to the report.
A broken glass pipe and a lighter were found on the ground and also a plastic bag of marijuana on the third floor, according to the report.
