The OPD, Hard at Work!

And I thought the Boulder police were bad...

Vacant house check uncovers unclaimed water bong

Wednesday, January 14, 2009

Oxford police performing a vacant house check during the holiday break wound up discovering a colorful, yet illegal decoration.

Officers reported finding the front window of a South Campus Avenue house unlocked on Jan. 2, entering the residence to secure the window and ensure no criminal activity was taking place inside. During a routine search of the home, police said they found an orange water bong sitting in plain view in an upstairs closet.

The bong, which reportedly contained what appeared to be marijuana residue, was confiscated after officers finished checking the remainder of the house for signs of burglary.

An officer returned to the residence on Jan. 11 in an attempt to find the bong's owner, but report a resident said he was unsure who it might have belonged to in the house. A police investigation into the owner of the bong continues.
