Three students smoking a marijuana cigarette outside of Bolton Hall last night may have saved themselves a lot of time, money, and trouble when they pulled off a slick maneuver to avoid a Campus Police Officer.

“We were smoking this fat joint and I looked over Erick’s shoulder and saw this guy kind of looking at us off in the distance,” said Freddy Arquette, one of the friends. “He was wearing a gray shirt and he was pretty overweight. I was like, ‘Is that Campo?’ and Erick was like, ‘I don’t know, maybe.’”

Witnesses then saw the tallest of the three friends throw the joint on the ground, stamp it out, and motion to the others to follow him down the walkway toward the science building.

“I’m not actually sure if the guy they saw was a Campus Security Officer,” said Steve Weidner, another of the friends. “When we were walking away I glanced over my shoulder a little bit and he didn’t really look like a Campo guy. He was wearing a backpack.”

Following the incident, the three students were spotting at late night in the Dining Hall, eating chicken patties.
