Police Roundup

Student Charged with Felony Drug Possession

Marco Mascioli, a senior economics major, was arrested Nov. 25 for possession of controlled substances after turning himself in to University police.

Police officers responded to a drug complaint call in Graham Residence Hall on Sunday evening, and resident assistants led them to Mascioli's room, said Maj. Jeff McCracken.

The officers asked to be allowed to search the room, but Mascioli did not give them consent.

Upon leaving, the officers found drugs outside the window of the room in question that appeared to have been thrown out of the window. Under the window were a small amount of amphetamines and methamphetamines and 15 grams of other hallucinogens.

Those items in addition to the complaint call were enough to issue two warrants for Mascioli's arrest. The next day, Mascioli was arrested on two felony charges of possession of controlled substances.

Mascioli appeared in Orange County District Court in Hillsborough on Nov. 26.
