The three females and one male student identified themselves to police. Officers noticed all the students had glossy eyes and dilated pupils and spoke very slowly, reports stated.

Police asked what they were doing and one of the students replied, "Just hanging out and smoking some."

Police asked if he meant marijuana, and he said yes, reports stated.

Police then pointed to each student in turn and asked if they had smoked. Three students said, "yes," and one nodded her head up and down.

Police asked if there was any marijuana left and how it had been smoked. One of the students reached to a shelf and handed an officer a bag.

She said the bag and blue pipe inside belonged to her. Police saw a multicolored pipe and baggie containing a leafy green substance.

Police asked who owned these items and one of the students replied they were his, reports stated.

All students were diverted to the Dean of Students.
