Kieffer Hall resident charged with possession of marijuana & drug paraphernalia

Tanner O. Kaurudar, 21, of Kieffer Hall, was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in connection with an incident that occurred on Jan. 29.

Officers were patrolling the G-1 parking lot when they observed Kaurudar’s vehicle parked in the lot, running with the headlights on. The officers checked the remainder of the lot, and when they came back to Kaurudar’s vehicle it was still running — however, the headlights were now turned off. The officers stopped to check on Kaurudar’s welfare to see if he needed any assistance. 

Upon approaching the vehicle, the officers noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside. The vehicle was searched and a small amount of marijuana, as well as drug paraphernalia were found inside. A criminal complaint was filed against Kaurudar charging him with the offenses listed above.

The incident is still under investigation.

Officers went to the scene and found the silver Lexus parked in the parking lot with no driver present. The vehicle had sustained disabling damage to the passenger side front wheel and was towed from the scene. 

The driver of the vehicle was later identified as Elias O. Fryer, 19, of Lackhove Hall. 

Fryer was cited for accidents involving damage to unattended property and windshield obstructions for not clearing his windshield prior to operating the vehicle.
