Police Mistake Late Night Pokémon Go Players For Drug Dealers, Hilarity Ensues

One of the best parts of Pokémon Go is the motivation to explore and the unexpected workout some people get, but going out on new adventures can also lead to some unique and interesting situations like this one involving some sketchy guys at 3 a.m., an onyx and the police.
Redditor SlothOfDoom, a “40 year something white guy,” decided to wander around his neighborhood at 3 a.m. to find some pokémon and check out a pokéstop. He shared his epic story on Reddit about how he ended up being spotted by some “sketchy looking dudes,” followed by a cop showing up with an unexpected twist in the end.
“So I get there and wander around a little checking out the stops and rustling around in the tall grass, then decided to go a few blocks away to see a couple more stops when I hear from the darkness a “Yo, my man!,” the post read.
“Turning, I see two sketchy looking dudes, sitting on a bench in the dark. I must have walked right past them without noticing them. Great,” he continued, sounding a bit worried of the sudden turn of events.
But then this happened:
“One of them waves ‘My man, check over by the blue truck over there we got an onyx earlier.'”
Sure enough, he found an onyx Pokemon right where the two guys directed him to. The three began chatting and ended up forming a Pokemon team together. The rest of the epic evening is detailed in the actual post below:

If this happened on campus, Stanford should issue a clear public update and specific safety actions.

Agree. People need facts and process, not silence. The school should confirm what is being investigated.

Also important to separate verified details from rumors so this does not spiral online.

The death threat part is extremely serious. Hoping law enforcement and campus security are already involved.

This is where official reporting and support channels need to be visible and easy to access.
