Dozens of Arrests in University Drug Sting

NYT:

SAN DIEGO — A drug ring operating out of San Diego State University was broken up today after a five-month sting operation, resulting in the arrests of nearly 100 people, many of them college students accused of selling drugs to fellow classmates, the Drug Enforcement Administration said.

The ring apparently operated out of three different fraternity houses and distributed a wide variety of drugs to other students, the authorities said. They said the ring included 75 students and 21 non-students.

During a raid of the fraternity houses, investigators said they uncovered more than $100,000 worth of cocaine, ecstasy, prescription drugs and marijuana, and several weapons, including a shotgun and four handguns

Damon Mosler, the chief of the San Diego District Attorney’s Office’s narcotics division, called the operation the largest university-related drug bust in San Diego County history.
