An employee at Park Student Center, 601 N. Park St., told police Wednesday that he believes another employee is planning to plant marijuana in his car and call the police.

The employee, who is a supervisor at the center, said he was told by an unknown employee that the other employee, a cook, was going to put the drugs in the supervisor's car.

The supervisor said he does not get along well with the cook.

The supervisor said he is resigning within the next week. His boss told police that the supervisor has not been getting along well with employees and would have been fired if he had not submitted his resignation.
