A student called university police Friday evening to report her initials had been forged on a check last semester.

According to police reports, the student told police she wrote a check Oct. 11 to the organization, It's Greek to Me. When she received her bank statement, another student had crossed out the organization's name and written her own name in its place.

The suspect also forged the students initials on the check, reports stated.

The student told police the suspect has been in trouble with banks in the past.


A student called police Monday night after she noticed what she believed to be marijuana in her roommate's purse.

According to police reports, the student told police she saw her roommate at 8:50 p.m. with what she recognized as marijuana. She also told police her roommate had marijuana in their room in the past.

Police entered the room and found the baggie of suspected marijuana in the student's purse.

When the purse-owner returned home, police asked her if there was marijuana in her room. According to reports, she admitted to having it and gave it to police.

She also handed over a black film container and nine other baggies of suspected marijuana, reports stated.

The student told police she smokes "about a bowl at a time every other day with three to four friends," reports stated.

She also told police she sells it to her friends on a "casual basis," reports stated.

The student told officers she brought the suspected marijuana back from California and paid $150 for what the officers seized, reports stated. She refused to tell officers who had sold it to her.

According to reports, the reporting roommate told police a man had come to their room looking to buy a "shaker," reports stated.

The woman told police he had offered to pay $10 for it, but her roommate wanted $25, reports stated.

The suspected buyer told her roommate he would give her the rest of the money while she was at work.

The woman told police she never saw any money change hands.

Police referred the woman to the Dean of Student's Diversion Program.


Police went to a student's residence Monday evening to aid a suicidal student.

According to police reports, the Coronado Residence Hall resident had cut herself three or four times on her left wrist.

The student told the officer she was unhappy at the UA and wanted to transfer. She said she was packing her things that night at 7:22 p.m. when she accidentally knocked over a glass jar.

According to reports, she spoke with her mother on the phone shortly after she had broken the jar. She told the officer that she cut herself with the broken glass in response to her mother saying she had to stay at UA. Her mother then called UAPD.

Officers took her to the Columbia Northwest Medical Center, 6200 N. La Cholla Blvd., where her wounds were attended to and she voluntarily admitted herself to their patient psychological program, reports stated.


Police arrested two people Saturday night on suspicion of marijuana possession after officers pulled over a white Chevrolet pickup truck for erratic driving.

According to police reports, police were driving south on N. Park Avenue when they saw the truck run a stop sign at E. Second Street.

The driver of the truck, 16-year-old Julian Erik Hargrave, swerved in and out of the lane and ran another stop sign at E. Fourth Street, reports stated.

Hargrave, of the 11000 block of S. Serrita Mountain Road, blocked an alleyway west of E. Lowell Road after pulling over. Officers asked him to move his vehicle into the alleyway twice, but he did not comply, reports stated.

Police noted the smell of burning marijuana from inside of the truck, then searched the truck and found a baggie of suspected marijuana inside.

Hargrave told police he had just picked up the truck and was not aware of what was inside it, reports stated.

Officers found more suspected marijuana in his pocket, and he told police he was taking it to a friend, but did not intend to sell the green leafy substance, reports stated.

A passenger in the truck, Corianna Fee, 18, of the 1300 block of W. King Place, also admitted to having marijuana in her possession.

Fee and Hargrave were taken to UAPD where they were cited for marijuana possession. Their parents then came and picked them up.
