An intoxicated student in Anderson Tower was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital after security officers responded before 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 11.

While the security officers were on the scene, they noticed illegal weapons – a cane sword, double-edged throwing knives and a machete – in plain view in the student’s room, according to UR Security Investigator Dan Lafferty.

The items were confiscated as a result of the illegality of the weapons, according to New York state law.

Although criminal charges could be filed, UR Security merely surrendered the weapons to the Rochester Police Department for destruction, according to security.

The case has been referred to the Dean of Students Office for further review.

Investigators are currently working to establish whether he was involved in any thefts that occurred in recent days on campus, according to UR Security.
