Two Western students indicted

Two Western students were indicted last week by a Warren County grand jury.

Marion sophomore Adam Attia and Charles Groves, a freshman from Hartsville, Tenn., were indicted Wednesday, April 29.

Attia’s court date has been set for May 22, according to the county clerk’s office. Officials declined to provide information about Groves’ court date.

Attia was arrested and taken to the Warren County Regional Jail on Feb. 22. He was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and trafficking a controlled substance within 1,000 yards of a school, according to the jail inmate directory.

He was also arrested in May 2007 and charged with possession of marijuana, according to the directory.

According to an arrest report provided by Barry Pruitt, public information officer for the Bowling Green Police Department, officers responded to a call on Feb. 22 about a loud party at the Registry Apartments.

When the officers arrived at the Registry, they immediately smelled marijuana and searched the residence, according to the report.

Officers attempted to check all of the rooms in the apartment, according to the report. Room “C,” Attia’s room, was locked.

A property manager unlocked Attia’s door after Attia refused to unlock the door, according to the report. Attia also refused to let the officers search his room without a warrant.

After obtaining a search warrant from District Judge Sam Potter, officers seized rolling papers, a digital scale, a marijuana pipe and about 70.5 grams of marijuana from Attia’s room, according to the report.

Groves, who was charged with assault, wasn’t listed in the Bowling Green Police Department’s records, Pruitt said.
