Two University students were arrested last week and charged with felony possession of cocaine.

Police arrested Timothy Sanders Wallis, 22, and Julianne Robbins Tamplin, 22, after midnight Saturday at the Classic Center.

According to the police report:

Officer K. Beavers wrote, “While working off duty in uniform at 300 North Thomas St. (Classic Center) at the Kappa Alpha party, I walked to the middle of the Center to the men’s restroom.”

The two students were in a secluded hallway near the restrooms, he wrote. As Beavers walked towards the men’s restroom, he saw both huddled near the last phone booth bent over a small shelf. He “heard a snorting sound coming from the area.”

Beavers said he saw Wallis with a small object up to his nose and saw him snort a substance, raising his head up, rubbing his nose, and snorting a few more times as he gave the object to Tamplin, the report said. Tamplin put the object to her nose, snorted and put it down on the shelf. She rubbed her nose and snorted a few more times, the report said.

“Even though I was in plain view, they did not notice me. We were 15 to 20 feet apart,” Beavers wrote in the police report.

As Beavers walked toward them, he saw the object was a small bottle with a red top and white powder inside. He recognized it as a “device used to snort cocaine.”

Wallis attempted to walk away, and Tamplin backed up against the wall and moved away from the shelf.

Beavers told them to sit on the floor while he called another officer. He tested the powder on the top edge of the bottle with a cocaine wipe, and it tested positive. Wallis and Tamplin were transported to the Clarke County Jail, and the bottle was placed into evidence to be tested.

Tamplin refused to comment Monday evening. Efforts to reach Wallis Monday were unsuccessful.

For first-time offenders in Georgia, the court may defer proceedings and place the offender on probation, according to the Georgia Criminal Defense Web site.
