HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. (AP) - Authorities say a New Jersey university student from Pennsylvania was charged after authorities found that a college dorm fire alarm had been set off by marijuana smoke.
Hackettstown police and fire department personnel responded to Centenary University’s Van Winkle Hall shortly after 1:30 a.m. Tuesday following the alarm.
Officers reported the odor of “burnt and raw marijuana” coming from a dorm room. After they determined that marijuana smoke triggered the alarm and there was no fire, students were allowed back into the building.
