21-year-old Aaliyah Thompson was found falling asleep on the curb near Lincoln Street and Lafayette Street, a high-crime area, in the morning hours of May 22nd. Officers were patrolling the area when they observed Thompson sleeping on the side of the road. Part of Thompson’s body was in the roadway, so officers warned her to move for her safety. Then, officers noticed Thompson had a “smoking pipe” in her hand as she stood up. This prompted officers to ask her if she had anything else on her, during which she emptied her pockets, dropping a folded-up $1 bill with what she later admitted was crack inside it. Additionally, Thompson had multiple pipes and burnt tin foil on her person. Thompson was taken into custody for the unlawful use of drug paraphernalia and simple possession.
