Drug probe after students death at San Diego State University nets 75 student arrests
An undercover investigation targeting drug trafficking at San Diego State University in California uncovered a major underground drug ring on fraternity row, authorities said on Tuesday.
The investigation began when a 19-year-old freshman sorority member died a year ago from a cocaine overdose at San Diego State University.
Just Months away from Graduating
Prosecutors said one of the students accused of dealing cocaine was one month away from being awarded a master’s degree in homeland security.
Another student was who was arrested was a month away from a criminal justice degree.
Authorities seized several guns, at least $60,000 in cash and about $100,000 worth of drugs, including marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, and methamphetamines.
Some drugs bought and sold by students were traced to gangs linked to Mexican cartels, according to the DEA. Investigators discovered that many students in fraternities were aware of organized drug dealing within their houses.
