A complainant called UPD and said they saw an occupant of a white Ford sedan throw a beer bottle at a road sign on FGCU Boulevard. A UPD officer located the subject vehicle at 4:08 p.m. in South Village and identified both of the car occupants as residents of Eagle Hall. The passenger admitted to have thrown the bottle but claimed to be unaware of hitting the sign. The officer then escorted the subjects back to the scene, so they could pick up their litter. The officer also spotted marijuana and a bottle of beer inside the car in plain sight. The officer tested the marijuana, which tested positive, and disposed of the full bottle of beer. The case was forwarded to the Dean’s Office for review.

“…The mentally ill patient was taken into custody and transported to Gulf Coast Hospital for observation.” I’m pretty sure that’s majorly offensive to individuals with mental disorders, who would rather be referred to as ‘a person with a mental disorder/illness’ instead of ‘mentally ill’.
