Man arrested after loaded guns and marijuana found hidden in UF campus bathroom

University of Florida Police arrested Stephon Coney, 29, on Tuesday after finding a concealed backpack in a crawl space inside a Little Hall bathroom that contained two loaded handguns, roughly 1.3 pounds of marijuana, a digital scale, and ammunition. Officers had already spoken with Coney earlier that day for accessing the same bathroom and grew suspicious when he returned and then exited without the backpack he had been seen carrying. Coney denied ownership of the items, though a document bearing his name was reportedly found inside the crawl space.
