Nebraska freshman Wan’Dale Robinson was cited by University Police for possession of marijuana late Sunday night.
According to a UNL spokesperson, University Police were called to Robinson’s on-campus room after a community service officer reported the smell of marijuana. Robinson’s car was subsequently searched and the marijuana was discovered, leading to a citation for less than an ounce at 11:28 p.m., UNL spokesperson Leslie Reed said.
“We are aware of the situation and are addressing it,†an athletic department spokesman said in a statement.
Three other people were in the room at University Suites, but Robinson was the only person cited. Robinson has a July 9 court date but does not face any jail time.
