S1 observed R2 smoking. S1 approached R2 and R2 admitted smoking marijuana. Furthermore, R1 confirmed they got it from R2. S1 and S2 went and spoke with R2, who admitted giving marijuana to R1. Per Administrator, both R2 and R1 were informed that possession and use of drugs was a violation of house rules which could result in eviction from the facility.
LPA interviewed six (6) residents out of a total of fifty-three (53) total residents. Five (5) out of six (6) residents stated that they have never witnessed anyone smoking, nor smelled marijuana odor inside the facility. Information revealed from R1 verified the information received from staff.
LPA's review of facility records confirmed that house rules were discussed with R1 and R2.
Based on inspection, observation and interviews, it was concluded that although the allegation may have happened, there is not sufficient evidence to confirm that it happened at the facility due to inadequate staff supervision. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
