Campus Watch: Reefer Madness Leaves Officer In Headlock

[User]

Two students at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut were arrested earlier this month for marijuana possession and breaching the peace, and one of their roommates was injured when a routine drug search turned ugly, according to collegenews.com.

Security came to the dorm room of Christopher Thompson at 2 a.m. on Oct. 18 after detecting a “heavy marijuana smell” and asked if they could enter to investigate. When Thompson, who lives in a dorm with three other male occupants, answered no, the security officers entered anyway. It was at this moment that the situation became a confusing mess.

Two of Thompson’s roommates were immediately woken up by the noise, and one of them, David Bowen, put one of the officers in a headlock. He was arrested shortly thereafter. Another roommate, Greg Valerio, was woken up after being pulled to the ground and sustained injuries of an uncertain degree; he spent the night in the hospital.

Police reportedly found a bong and 21 grams of pot in the room, which led to Thompson’s arrest. He was later released on $1,500 bail and Bowen on $500 bail.
