Officers arrested 19-year-old pre-education student Nicholas Ryan Darnell on April 18 for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
LSU Police Department spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said officers were called to Taylor Hall on Wednesday, April 18, at 5:52 p.m. in reference to complaints about the smell of marijuana coming from a dorm room. Lalonde said officers made contact with Darnell, the resident in the room where the smells originated, with a permanent address of 3985 Fruitvale Ave. in Oakland, Calif.
After speaking with Darnell, officers investigated his dorm room and found 88 grams of marijuana, along with a digital scale. Lalonde said Darnell admitted to distributing drugs.
He was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
