GSU officers were sent to Tubman Hall to meet with the housing coordinator who said he was walking through the dorm and smelled suspected marijuana coming from a specific room.
After entering the room, an officer smelled the strong odor of marijuana. Two women and a man were found in room A of that unit. Jaden Ashley was seen trying to slide something underneath a desk.
