An Ocala man was issued a notice to appear before a judge for a misdemeanor possession of marijuana after reportedly trying get a 19-year-old UF student to engage in oral sex.

Joseph J. Wilkins, 40, pulled his car onto Union Road, next to Tigert Hall, from Northwest 13th Street and began following the student, who was walking, Saturday around 5 a.m., according to a University Police Department report.

A UPD officer parked in the Tigert Hall parking lot and approached the student, who appeared upset, and asked if everything was OK. The student told the officer that the man in the car kept asking if he could "suck his dick," the report stated.

The officer then pulled Wilkins' car over and asked him what was going on. Wilkins said he stopped to ask the student for directions, then, when pressed, admitted he asked the student for oral sex.

The student did not file charges.

During a search of Wilkins' car, an open Marlboro Lights pack with five marijuana roaches was found, according to the report. Wilkins told police he thought the roaches were left in the car by the previous owner.

He said a man outside the Kangaroo gas station on the corner of Northwest 13th Street and University Avenue offered him oral sex for $50 earlier in the night. Wilkins said he thought the student was hanging out with the man, so he followed him to see what was going on, the report stated.

Wilkins was also ticketed for no proof of insurance, driving without a license and driving an unregistered vehicle, the report stated.
