Yeah, probably

Officers responded to Penobscot Hall to investigate the smell of burning marijuana at 11:20 p.m. Oct. 6. The officers tracked the smell to a third-floor room. As they approached the room, the resident exited and the officers spoke with him. Four additional people occupied the room. When asked why the officers were there, the resident, Jason Hamilton, 18, Orono, responded the police were probably there due to the smell of marijuana. He then produced a metal marijuana pipe, a glass marijuana pipe and a small amount of marijuana. Police charged Hamilton with possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana.
