Redick faces inquiry on pot use

Men's basketball star J.J. Redick was among a group of students caught in a Blackwell Dormitory room after a nearby resident adviser called the police to report that she smelled marijuana on the second floor, according to a police report filed at 12:08 a.m. Monday morning.

Redick, a freshman, and four other individuals were mentioned, but no criminal charges were filed. Instead, the police referred the individuals to the Office of the Dean of Students.

University administrators cannot comment on individual judicial code violations, but Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek said such situations are handled on a case-by-case basis. She said penalties typically depend on factors such as the number of previous violations and whether the students are caught using the drugs or just in possession of them. Penalties can include, among other things, community service, probation or a review of the students' housing licenses, she said.

"It will be handled just as any alleged violation of the judicial code," said Wasiolek, who would not confirm Redick's involvement.

Jon Jackson, a spokesperson for the Athletics Department, said it would be inappropriate to comment on the matter until the undergraduate judicial process has been completed. Redick could not be reached for comment.

Also caught with Redick were freshman men's soccer players Ian Carey and Ryan Kerlew. Neither could be reached for comment.

The report said that after the resident adviser's phone call, the police arrived to a "very strong smell of marijuana" in the halls, and "after checking several of the rooms negative for the smell," they opened the door to the room where Redick and the others were, and "the smell was even stronger emitting from the room."

The police said they lined up the five students, who had "red, glossy eyes and a strong smell of marijuana about their person," but after searching, found no contraband on them. The officers reported that they then searched the room and found no marijuana, but instead discovered a homemade bong "with pieces of green leafs in the water and a strong smell of marijuana emitting from the top."

Carey eventually claimed possession of the bong, and after giving him a warning, the police, instead of making arrests, handed the names of the offenders over to the judicial affairs board.

Maj. Robert Dean, a spokesperson for Duke police, said decisions on whether to charge students or refer them to the undergraduate judicial process are left to the discretion of the officers present. He would not comment on the specific case in question.

I wonder if he knows where I can get any? I can't find any anywhere right now.

Seriously doubt it will affect him playing next year though. He must have been smoking that last game against Kansas, he couldn't throw it in the ocean.

 

pot? basketball players? college campus? wtf is this world coming to!?!?!?!?!

 

I forgot Tallahassee is a football town. Perhaps Von Wafer will change that if he is able to stay in school.

 

and bookies?

"hey dude......lets party"

 

where does he think he is?

Boone? He's obviously not smart enough to go to dook or he would have put a towel at the bottom of the door and had the ozium working.

 

Of course the Duke players use illegal drugs. I've never doubted that. Coach K has never had a good hold on what his players are up too. Sad but true.

 

moron. That's probably just bait up there so i'm not gonna get into too much of that other than duke is probably no different than any other college. But, shocker, tell us your team and tell us how it's different, with facts and we won't call you a moron forever.

Anywho, i read a followup article on charlotte.com and it basically stated that they found a bong and smelled marijuana. Now, i don't think anyone is stupid enough to say they weren't high, but, if you don't find the weed, then nothing is gonna happen. I'm sure redick has been called to k's office and it's doubtful he'll put himself in that situation again.

 

Well you're more than welcome to go through life with blinders on in a completely sheltered world WYDD, but I live in reality.

Finding a smoking bong and smelling weed in the air is enough evidence for me to suspect that maybe the guy was smoke'n duh shit. UNC is my college and I haven't heard of any "smok'n bongs" as of yet up there. Your the moron - and a limp prick at that. Go back to wonderland sweatheart.
