A Shreveport man was arrested Friday morning after Louisiana Tech University police responded to a report of a man smoking marijuana in a car on campus.
Elijah Brooks, 21, of Shreveport, was arrested at 10:29 a.m. Nov. 6.
According to an arrest affidavit, an officer was dispatched at about 10:10 a.m. to the area of a campus parking lot after the report of a man sitting in a red car smoking marijuana. The officer found the vehicle, and Brooks, the only person inside, opened the driver’s door and got out. The officer noted an odor he immediately recognized as marijuana.
Brooks was advised of his rights and acknowledged them. He handed the officer a partially consumed blunt, then told the officer where more marijuana was, in a bag next to the driver’s seat.
The marijuana was seized and weighed at South Hall. The total weight was 28.6 grams.
Brooks was arrested on a charge of possession of marijuana on a university campus.
