University of Maryland Police responded to reports of stalking, an injured person and controlled dangerous substance violations, among other incidents this past week, according to police reports.

Suspicious activity

On Friday at 3:44 p.m., University Police responded to their headquarters, where a female student reported that a man she doesn’t know appeared to be following her in between classes — particularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, University Police spokeswoman Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas said.

The victim was unable to provide exact dates for the incident and was unable to identify the man, Hoaas said, making it difficult for University Police to investigate further.

“It’s important to remember that no matter what, the individual can contact police if she has additional information,” Hoaas said. “It’s also important to call [University Police] as it’s happening to make sure we can identify the individual in question.”

This case is closed.

CDS violation

University Police responded to the top level of the Terrapin Trail Parking Garage on Friday at 7:17 p.m. after the Security Operations Center informed officers of three men smoking marijuana on the rooftop, Hoaas said.

An officer was able to locate the individuals in their vehicle and detected an odor of marijuana, Hoaas said.

Upon searching the vehicle, the officer discovered drug paraphernalia and marijuana.

One of the men, who has no affiliation with this university, was given a civil citation for less than 10 grams of marijuana, Hoaas said.

The second male, who is a student, was referred to the Office of Student Conduct.

The third man, who is also not affiliated with this university, did not receive any type of penalty.

This case is closed.

On Friday at 11:50 p.m., University Police responded to Denton Hall where a resident assistant reported a smell of marijuana in the building.

An officer knocked on the resident’s door, and the student turned over marijuana to the officer, Hoaas said.

The student was then referred to the Office of Student Conduct, Hoaas said.

This case is closed.

Other incident

On Friday at 7:36 p.m., University Police responded to the Manufacturing Building for a report that smoke was coming from the battery of a power tool.

There was no fire present and no one was injured, Hoaas said.

This case is closed.

Hate bias

University Police responded to Denton Hall at 5:17 p.m. Saturday for a report of a hate bias incident.

A female student reported that between 4:10 p.m. and 4:44 p.m., a racial slur was found on a chalkboard outside her room.

Officers searched the area and eventually erased the slur, Hoaas said.

This case is open and active.

Sick/injured person

University Police responded to Easton Hall on Sunday at 2:08 a.m. for a male student who needed alcohol-related medical assistance, Hoaas said.

The student was taken to a local hospital. This case is closed.

Fire

University Police responded to the 7300 block of Preinkert Drive on Monday at 10:50 p.m. for a report of a fire, according to a police report.

This case is active.
