Officer Caleb Lawson was dispatched to 322 University Loop West for a complaint from the library personnel about an event that was happening in the lobby. 

Lawson made contact with the suspect, who said they obtained permission from library personnel to use the facility for a medical marijuana sign-up event. She also said there was not any money being paid at the event. 

After a few minutes, the suspect was able to find an email that was supposed to be in reference to the event. The only thing that Lawson could read on the email was someone asking if the library was open for public use. Lawson tried to have the suspect show more of the email, but she was evading any kind of direct questions regarding the permission for the event. 

Lawson and the suspect spoke with personnel at the library who had called their supervisor. They advised that they were waiting for the dean of the building, Jeff Bailey, to call them back. After a few minutes, Jeff Bailey called the desk and Lawson spoke with him. 

Lawson advised him of the situation and the information that he had on hand. Bailey said the library is open for public use, but only for individuals. He said events are only for student organizations and other A-State affiliated events and the people at the event would need to leave. 

Lawson spoke with some of the individuals at the event and they said they paid $49 to be there and that if they had not pre-paid they would have to pay today. There were also business cards on the table for the event showing a payment of $49. Lawson went and spoke to the suspect again and told her the information. 

She was told that, due to the way that the situation was handled, the deceptive way she had tried to use the facility and that she lied about money being taken from people at the event, she was going to be banned from the library.
