Here We Go Again

I think this speaks for itself.

Penn State University police searched the apartment where four football players reside on campus the night of the spring Blue/White game April 25, court papers say.

According to an application for a search warrant, police wrote that around 11:10 April 25, university police responded to apartment 4103 in the Nittany Apartments complex on campus to assist residence life with dispersing a loud party.

As soon as they entered the apartment, police say they could see marijuana "in plain view" in the kitchen and smell it throughout the apartment.

Why? Why can't Penn State football players seem to avoid getting high? Can someone explain this to me?

I can't wait to see the fallout from this.

UPDATE: FOS says come down off the ledge. The online campus directory the Collegian was looking at was out of date. Daryll Clark does not live in the apartment in question.

Monday's lesson of the day: one can never trust the online version of Penn State's student directory.

That became evident Monday afternoon, when the Centre Daily Times broke a story that Penn State police spotted marijuana in an on-campus apartment April 25, the night of PSU's annual Blue-White Game. The CDT report said four Nittany Lion players lived at the apartment. No names were mentioned by the paper, but the apartment number was.

It took diligent fans about 30 seconds to use Penn State's online student directory to link senior All-Big Ten quarterback Daryll Clark's name to the story. In the directory, Clark is (or was) listed as living at the same apartment where the marijuana was allegedly seen.

The good news for Clark was that he no longer lived at the apartment, having moved out following the fall semester. The directory just had not been updated. He was advised to call the office of the registrar to update his info ASAP.

Just curious

Is it normal practice for police to get a search warrant when they go to break up a loud party? I remember back in the day when some of our apartment keg parties got out of control the police would come by and knock on the door and just make their presence known. After they left the party pretty much broke up.

Do they just get a warrant when they are called out to Nittany Apartments or something?

by BSD on May 4, 2009 3:04 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

You have the order screwed up.

The cops went to the apartment around 11 a.m. for the noise / alarm, were granted access to the apartment, smelled weed, and applied for the search warrant around 1 a.m.:

Because the fire alarm was sounding and there was no response from anyone inside, the officer was told to unlock the apartment for safety reasons, court papers state. A woman who told police she had access to the apartment let them in, court papers say.
 
The warrant states police intended to search the four-bedroom apartment for marijuana, marijuana residue, scales, paraphernalia and other items. The kitchen, living room, bathroom area, hallway and each bedroom were to be searched.

Court records indicate that police haven’t filed a “return” on the warrant — a list of what they found after District Judge Allen Sinclair signed the application April 26 around 1 a.m.

Your memory is mostly correct.

At the parties that I’ve been to, if the cops come they tell you to turn down the music and/or just tell everyone to leave. Maybe the rules are different for on campus stuff though.

www.psu.edu/ph is the directory. It made me happy that Evan Royster does not live there

Keep in mind

It almost doesn’t matter who lives there, only who was at this party, I mean Clark may live there but bounced because he didn’t want to be apart of it.

Am I wrong or didn’t roomates of Evans and Koroma not get in trouble because they weren’t there? If you aren’t there and they can not show the weed was yours, you are alright

by Roland86 on May 4, 2009 3:33 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

you have it backwards

Evans and Koroma were the 2 not at the party (though I forget who their roommates were, who were the ones having the party). My guess is that the cops came, and the people there ditched all their weed, so when the cops came back to search, they only found stuff in Evans and Koroma’s rooms (since they were not there to empty their trash bins, etc). Of course they could have been there earlier, and bailed once the cops showed, or something else, but yeah…

Which would be worse, having repeat offenders here, who are then purged from the team or new offenders that just makes it a larger percentage of the team doing this shit

I understand it’s the midwest and it’s not the most exciting area. These guys aren’t the first to take the edge off of boredom with some weed. But they have to realize it’s the midwest. Cops view weed as a capital offense and will turn it into a circus. Either don’t do it or be very discreet about it . . . .

The midwest starts in Altoona / Johnstown

…because that’s where they start saying “pop” instead of “soda”.

I've always viewed Pgh as the first midwestern city

It’s too isolated from the true east coast cities, and it’s not much of an “east coast attitude” out there, for lack of a better term.

And I don’t think Pittsburghers associate themselves with the east coast, either.

Not exactly, but

Pennsylvania is an eastern state, but certainly there’s a difference between the area that borders Jersey in the east and the area that borders Ohio on the west. If western and central PA aren’t geographically midwestern, at the very least I’d say the area is more similar to the midwest than they are to urban areas like Philly, DC and NY.

Here's an idea stoners

Ok, you have been busted numerous times as a team. Cops are looking for parties at Nittany Apartments and football players because that is where the players have gotten into trouble before for weed and loud parties. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL HAVING PARTIES AND SMOKING WEED IN THESE APARTMENTS. Be smart.

And Clark, our leader. I have never said a bad thing about this man. But he has to know better than this, and this is inexcusable. He has to. Even if he wasn’t smoking or whatever, if this is his apartment he has to say no to this party. If you wanna be a leader on the floor, be one off of it.

by STU Boy on May 4, 2009 3:23 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Hold up

Rip the players in a general sense, but let’s not naming names until the police report comes out. There is no evidence Clark was there or involved.

I know I know

Frustration not coming and I shouldn’t generalize. But it is his apartment, and I will hold off accusing him of not being a leader until otherwise proven guilty. Rashness won that round.

At least none of our football players streaked at the Mifflin streak last night. Brandon Ware, Deontae Pannell, Pete Massaro, and Anthony Fera were there, but none of them did it. Girls tried to get them to, but they all smartly said, “I can’t, if I did it, I’d be on the front page.”

The cops didn’t even try this year. It was funny, that pretty much took the tradition out of it. Nobody wanted to do it because there was no fun of people having to run from the cops.

And to think… for years, cops tried to stop it by being there, but they finally really toned it down by not going there.

Nothing like an offseason marijuana incident to throw us into a panic

I used to think the kids we recruited were smarter than the average student athlete but these incidents have really made me question that. Smoking pot is one thing but continuously doing it in a manner that gets them caught is on a whole other level.

Most of us have probably experimented with pot at one time or another some I’m not going to get all righteous about it even though it’s wrong, but how freaking dumb do you have to be to do it where others will smell it and it will draw negative attention to you?

I don't really know how smoke alarms work

but isn’t smoke smoke? Something is burning, therefore giving off some sort of ash cloud (aka smoke) and triggering the alarm. Unless weed has some magical powers to fool the smoke alarms that were created by the Man, I don’t think it matters what kind of smoke is billowing up to the sensor.

I smell something alright but it isn't pot...

it’s fishy!

C’mon, this just doesn’t siound right to me and I’m not about to point any fingers until there is more information. All four guys are innocent until proven guilty and if you ask me, it’s unfair to say all four of these guys had pot if it wasn’t found in any room or on any person.

I also find it hard to beleive anyone on this team (even if they were stupid enough to be smoking it knowing Bowman has failed tests and got caught recently) would leave it on a table in plain sight while hiding themselves – especially Clark – he just isn’t that stupid. Further to the point of smoking – really, really, who would be smoking it after all this shit thats gone down.

Something is fishy and I’m pointing my crooked lil’ wait for more information fingers at some ex-players, jaded students and even that lady with apartment access!! Hey why not? If you can simply point to a person on the street and say he/she did something wrong and just by doing so the whole world thinks they must be guilty automatically – then why can’t we start looking at the surreound people, the environment? I mean, set ups happen all the time and with the open-door policy of many college apartments probably pretty easy to pull-off.

Maybe I don’t want to beleive our guys are guilty but pot doesn’t lite itself up and if no one was in the apartment burning grass, what set off the alarm, coincidentally while a big bag of weed was on the table? And where were the players if they did it? Hiding their 200 – 300 plus bodies under the sofa, behind the bag of half-eaten doritos? NO, cause they weren’t there.

Some jaded person, a party-goer, ex-player or fling, or the lady with room access who wasn’t invited to any party lit one up, left a stash out purposely and essentially set off the alarm intending to implicate the tenants of the apartment.

I don’t know the truth and this may be far fetched but until there is more information it’s my story and i’m sticking to it. I don’t trust all cops either – those guys get a grudge on anyone and they do what they have to do to exact revenge. Down here in S-EEEEEEEEE-C country I see it all the time. And believe me, some cops shouldn’t be allowed to shovel s@!# let alone protect and serve.

It’s all fishy…

Clarification

I would like to clarify any misunderstanding on the topic above. I know for a fact that Clark does not/is not living in that apartment during the spring semester. So in regards to this situation he is not involved.

by Champs10 on May 4, 2009 4:52 PM EDT reply actions   1 recs

By far the best news

(if not unsurprising) is that Clark is apparently NOT involved.

I hate how upset this makes me….I need more of a life I guess, but IF this is true (and at least it looks like DC was not involved), IF there were boneheads who thought they could get away with it, kick em off. Just kick them off. Or let AQ go apeshit on them like I heard he did last year, he must be in the area.

This is not going to help our case, no matter how minor or “not such a big deal” it seems.

Axiomatic

I think if you’re getting riled up about mistakes made by 20 yr old men with access to lots of things (women, drugs, money, booze, relative fame) then you need to take a toke yourself.
PSU players always have used weed and booze and gotten in fights, just like all students.
More of them get caught today and they should know better, but why stress out about it? It’s going to happen, and it should. It’s a time for them to learn.

Also

I lived at 4504 and 4203 when I was at PSU. Had several warnings from cops but only one party where they busted the party without warnings. That night we sent about 100 people out the back windows on the first and second floors while I “negotiated” with the cops. We told the cops that our underage roomie was out of town, as the rest of us were of age. It ended up in like a $500 noise violation we split 4 ways.

but it’s possible the cops were also using the outdated registry when they looked up who lived in the apartment, so possibly and hopefully not. That might just be wishful thinking on my part.
