Student charged with weapon possession on campus

By on December 4, 2007

A student was charged with possession of a weapon and bribing a police officer after laying drag in the West Campus parking deck at 3 a.m. Sunday.

Talmon “Trey” Eugene Harber III, 19, was arrested and charged with felony possession of a weapon on school property, driving under the influence of alcohol, underage possession of alcohol, possession of drug-related objects, possession of marijuana, possession of a fake ID, laying drag and bribery.

University Officer Scott Zinsmeister stopped Harber on the third level of the parking deck for laying drag.

Laying drag is reckless driving, similar to drag racing, in which not all four wheels of a vehicle are spinning.

Zinsmeister searched the car and located a folding knife, marijuana, a fake ID and objects related to the use of drugs, said Lt. Lisa Boone.

Harber was charged with bribery “after numerous offers of payment were made in exchange for his release,” according to the police report.

Harber was transported to the Clarke County Jail and booked at 5:30 a.m.
