UNM police confiscate contraband from dorm

Campus police responded to a domestic disturbance report at Coronado Residence Hall on April 28, where a UNM student was cited for possession of alcohol by a minor, drugs and paraphernalia.

On arrival, the officer found the student and his girlfriend who had been crying, the police report states. Both denied that any battery had taken place.

Inside the dorm room, the officer found and confiscated several items of contraband including pipes, alcohol, a copy of Cannabis Culture magazine and an unspecified amount of marijuana, the report states.

After housing security escorted the female back to her room, the UNM officer took the student to the police station and questioned him. The report also states that the student told the officer that he purchases about an ounce of marijuana a week. He was cited and released.

Injured man nearly hit by car after alleged assault

Police were sent to an intersection near North Campus after a woman reported that she nearly ran over a man who was lying in the middle of the road bleeding from a head injury.

Police arrived near Lomas Boulevard and Stanford Drive at about 10:30 p.m. April 28 and found the 29-year-old victim standing on a sidewalk.

The UNM Police Department report states that the victim was bleeding from his mouth and hands and that one of his ears was dark red and swollen.

The victim reportedly told police some of his friends had gotten angry with him and had beaten him up and then thrown him from a moving vehicle that was traveling east on Lomas.

The report states that the vehicle was occupied by four males who had been drinking and who were "high" from drugs.

The man said his friends had used their fists and a wooden board to injure him and had thrown him out of the vehicle while it was going about 80 mph.

The man was taken to University Hospital for emergency treatment.

The report was forwarded to UNMPD detectives.
