PULLMAN: SWAT team called in to search WSU fraternity

[srmom]

Why in the heck was a SWAT team called? Did they think the Nerf guns were lethal?

What a joke...

Well airsoft guns can be pretty brutal at close range...but the SWAT team? God I love the Pullman/Moscow area. My best friend goes to WSU and called me about it this morning. Gives new meaning to We Card Hard.
But a bong in the backseat?

Which legally = in plain sight.

Not that I'm arguing about the over-the-topness.

There is a lot of rivalry between U-Dub and WSU. There is a U-Dub bumper sticker that says "All dirt roads lead to Pullman".

Maybe the police were bored and didn't have anything better to do. LE SIGH.
