Police beat

Police searching for paintballs find marijuana
On Oct. 21 at 8:49 p.m., an officer stopped a car on College Avenue by Farm Road for speeding. While the officer was issuing the driver a summons for speeding, he asked if he could check the vehicle. The officer had a previous complaint about someone who had been improperly using paintballs. When asked if there was anything in the car, the driver said no, and said the officer could look, but not search the car. The officer then asked if the driver and passenger would exit the vehicle and they did so without complaint. The officer noticed an empty rum bottle and an Altoids tin. Inside the tin, the officer found a straw, a razorblade and three white tablets. When asked what they were, neither young man responded. The passenger, identified as Paul Dube, 19, was issued a summons and charged with possession of marijuana.

Woman charged for refusing to leave nightclub
On Oct. 20 at 12:45 a.m., officers responded to a complaint from Ushuaia. Ushuaia was refusing entrance to a young woman and she became upset. She was visibly intoxicated, and someone had called the police. Because Ushuaia had already warned her, they asked that the officer remove her from the scene for criminal trespassing. The young woman was identified as Shirin Ansari, 20. A friend was unsuccessfully trying to escort Ansari off the premises, but Ansari continued to protest. Her friend finally convinced her to leave, but as she started leaving, Ansari turned back and yelled again. She was arrested for disorderly conduct.

On Oct. 25 at 6:40 p.m., a young man went into Thriftway and tried to purchase alcohol with a fake identification card. The clerk took the card and called the police.

On Oct. 19 at 11:45 p.m., an officer was contacted for a noise complaint on Pond Street.

Later at 11:50 p.m., an officer approached a group of people standing outside on Timberview Drive. As the officer approached, he saw a young woman who looked underage carrying a can of beer.
