Two students found themselves in the weeds while smoking weed over the weekend.
On Friday at about 2 a.m., the Ohio University Police Department responded to a call from resident assistants in Treudley Hall about a student who had smoked marijuana.
The resident assistants said the man had been “yelling and screaming, and was now unresponsive on the 3rd floor,” according to the OUPD report.
After a brief investigation, the student had bloodshot eyes, was slurring his speech and admitted to smoking marijuana earlier. He was checked out by the Athens County EMS and cleared. The student was issued a citation for disorderly conduct by intoxication.
Another student in the room was also investigated and issued a citation for possession of marijuana.
The incident was one of three citations of possession of marijuana by OUPD over the weekend.
