Penn State Police searched the residence of four Penn State football players the night of the April 25 Blue-White game after police say they observed marijuana in "plain view."

The Daily Collegian is withholding the names of the four residents of 4103 Nittany Apartments until police decide if charges will be filed in connection with the incident.

No charges have been filed, and the incident is under "active investigation," Penn State Police Deputy Director Tyrone Parham said. He could not confirm whether drug paraphernalia was seized from the apartment.

At about 11 p.m. authorities were sent to the apartment complex to disperse "a loud party" when they heard a fire alarm from the southeast section of the complex, according to the search warrant.

Police determined the alarm was coming from apartment 4103 and officers smelled "a strong and distinct odor of burnt marijuana" from the apartment, according to court documents.

In response to the fire alarm, police knocked on the door repeatedly and received no answer, leading them to unlock the door and enter the apartment, police said.

"Officers on scene observed marijuana in plain view in the kitchen and detected a stronger odor of burnt marijuana in the apartment," the warrant states.

Police received a warrant from Judge Allen Sinclair at about 1 a.m. April 26 and were given permission to seize marijuana and items with marijuana residue.

A representative of Sinclair's office said no receipt was filed for the warrant. Parham said there was a receipt and he was unsure why it wasn't filed.
