The resident assistant called police to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall, 910 E. Fifth St., at about 2:30 a.m.

The officer responded to UA student Philip Westwood's room and knocked on the door.

Westwood, 18, didn't answer the door, but the officer said he heard voices in the room, reports stated.

After identifying himself and knocking several times with no response, the officer opened the door to Westwood's room, reports stated.

The officer found Arizona-Sonora resident Yann Gavillot, 18; Michael Dowd, 18, of Phoenix; and Eric Kessler, 19, of Paradise Valley, in the south part of the room, and Westwood in bed covered, with his clothes and shoes on, reports stated.

The officer noticed a heavy smell of alcohol in the room and saw some empty cans and bottles lying around, reports stated.

The officer then asked Westwood if he had been smoking marijuana in the room.

Westwood told police he was asleep because he drank too much, but woke up to the smell of marijuana and police knocking on the door, reports stated.

The officer talked to Dowd, Gavillot and Kessler separately, and they admitted to smoking marijuana in the room and said Westwood provided the marijuana and smoking device, reports stated.

According to reports, Westwood admitted to smoking marijuana and showed police a glass smoking device hidden under his bed.

Westwood consented to a search of his room, and the officer found a plastic container with another glass smoking device, a wooden smoking device, a hand-rolled cigarette containing a green leafy substance and cigarette rolling papers inside, reports stated.

The officer also found a baggie containing a green leafy substance on a desk in the room, reports stated.
