After a security officer in the Harold B. Lee Library reported seeing a student enter the library with an object in his mouth that appeared to be a blunt, BYU police made contact with the suspect and questioned him. The perceived blunt turned out to be just a cinnamon stick, but BYU police felt that it was in the student body’s best interest to detain the student. The responding officer, Gary S. Pice, told the Alternate Universe:

 

“I for real thought it was weed initially, but now I’m embarrassed, so we’re just gonna commit to the bit.”

 

The student in question, Trevor Zimmamon, defended himself:

 

“Sometimes when I need motivation to do my accounting homework, I put a cinnamon stick in my mouth to feel like a mob boss going to count his cash. I got all the juniors to do it.”

 

While Zimmamon’s intentions may have been innocent, the law sees things differently. Local judge, Brad Sugar, iterated:

 

“Zimmamon’s cinnamon is despicable. There’s no other synonym to describe it. He’s sinned amid the finest school in America.”

 

The fate of Trevor Zimmamon is unfortunate, but the BYU administration urges the student body to take this as a warning to avoid the “appearance of evil” in the future.
