March 23 – 12:00 p.m.

Two homeless individuals offered cocaine to high school students at the Santa Barbara Easter Relays. A concerned parent informed security about the disturbance coming from the upper La Playa Stadium entrance. When campus security workers arrived, one individual ran away. Security approached the second, uncooperative individual. The individual was highly intoxicated and refused to leave campus. He was escorted near the fire road of Pershing Park and threatened security officers. He put his hands behind his back and said, “don’t make me pull this out, it will be a bad day for all of you.” Security workers backed away and watched him as he walked down the fire road. He did not pull a weapon from his jacket or pants. SBPD responded and arrested the individual off campus.
