Several police wagons were needed to transport those arrested to police headquarters.
The drug related charges include; Visiting a common nuisance, possession of marijuana, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and maintaining a common nuisance."


Report of a suspicious smell? 27 people arrested for smoking weed in a non-smoking motel. Talk about the world's dumbest criminals? Any concept of discretion?

[W & C]

Yeah it's dumb. Have a house party instead.

I wouldn't call them criminals. They shouldn't have been smoking weed where they were but honestly they weren't doing anything bad.

[Graywhiskers]

If they weren't criminals before, some of them are now.
27 people?
Many juveniles?
Smoking even tobacco in a non-smoking motel will draw management attention.
Look, if they want to smoke weed they need to learn to be discreet. Or pay the price.

Funny thing is, the tobacco smokers would make hotel management much angrier because that smell is very difficult to get rid of. The odor left behind from weed smoke is really easy to get rid of. At the hotel I worked at, we normally didn't even have to charge marijuana smokers a fee because the smell would be gone after a standard room cleaning. If this party had had under 10 people, they probably wouldn't have gotten in any trouble whatsoever.

Ya, absolutely.

As a landlord, I could care less about pot. Tobacco lingers way longer.

But I'm sure other hotel guests may not appreciate either kind of smoke while it's going on, particularly when you have nearly 30 people engaging in it.

Yeah, they're criminals now but its not necessary that they be. Also you just repeated what I said, it was dumb for them to do it where they were in the first place. Either way, there are more important legit criminal matters that actually make our city unsafe. Teens smoking pot? so what.

[Park Chung Hee]

I was a victim of a felony recently and the police barely cared enough to send an officer over to get a statement, but they have the manpower to break up pot parties. Plus the murder rate per capita in Indy is higher than Chicago.

People in their 20s partying it up with teenyboppers. What a bunch of losers.

27 people having a party in a motel room at 12:30am.... Expect a visit from the cops.
