12 years ago

User email:

“Hey guys,

Shit hit the fan in Tuscaloosa today. 74 Alabama students were arrested on various drug charges in one of the biggest drug busts in west Alabama. There were Narcotics Units breaking down dorm room doors starting at about 5 this morning, and they’ve continued to pick people up all day today from on and off campus. […] At least 10 or 20 of the guys were in different fraternities around campus. […] Some official statements from the university have mentioned expulsion for the students involved.”

And more from blog.al.com:

The 183 charges for the 71 men and 3 women include sale of controlled substance, sale of marijuana, possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The majority of the charges were for marijuana, but police also found drugs including cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, mushrooms and prescription pills, said Tuscaloosa Police Chief Steve Anderson. Several guns and thousands of dollars were seized as search and arrest warrants were executed today.

Confidential informants were strategically placed and used to build evidence. The investigation, of which has been in the works for over two months, has got to be the biggest bust in recent university history.

Here is a list of the 74 people booked on charges from the arrest roundup:

    Weed arrests don’t deserve to be blown out of proportion like this. It’s legal in two states and legal for medicinal use in 18 states. Give it a couple years and it’ll be legal federally.

      Yeah but it’s not legal yet. It’s easy to sit here and say that it is stupid to arrest these kids but in short they were doing something that was outside of United States law.Until it is legalized there will be nit picky arrests because it is illegal. Plain and simple

    If one of Saban’s boys had been involved the entire drug cartel would have been wiped out within a week

    Love how the GDI that wrote this emphasizes that 10 to 20 of the people involved were in fraternities. Fuck liberals.

    When buying a used car, the easiest way to check for frame damage is to measure the distances between the tires and the fenders on the rear wheels, then again on the front two tires!!!
