Sigma Pi at the University of Rhode Island was raided yesterday after police received a tip that a brother was selling large quantities of marijuana out of the house. Dan Coburn was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver after officers recovered two pounds of marijuana, a small amount of hash oil and $604 in cash during the search.

The school released the following statement today.

From WPRI:

The arrest of Dan Coburn, a sophomore student charged Monday, April 20 with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, has been referred to the University’s Office of Student Life for consideration as part of its student conduct process. Disciplinary action could result in dismissal.”

Danny boy here has clearly never heard of Biggie’s “10 Crack Commandments.” Otherwise, he’d know to never sell where he rests at, and to keep his family and business completely separated.

Also kind of a dick move by police to schedule the raid on 4/20. If there’s one day a year all pot dealers should be safe, it’s that day, right? And all over two pounds of dope and $604? You just inconvenienced some dorm hall on campus for all of three days. I’m sure the captain was proud of such an impressive haul. Mighty fine police work, guys. Mighty fine.

    Drug seizure ha been a huge source of revenue for cops. Recently Attorney General Holder stopped the reward for forfeitures. But beware of the new Human Trafficking Prevention and Assistance Law the Feds are about to pass. Similar to seizing your assets from drug raids, they can seize your assets if they can claim you contributed to human sex trafficking. Example: Your fraternity hires a stripper to come to the house. She gets busted days later.

      …..and in order to get out of a drug charge, she claims her boyfriend or whoever forced her to dance for money. The fraternity will be responsible and they can seize assets to ‘help victims.’ Anyone who was at the strip party can be charged with sex trafficking and subsequently required to register as a sex offender.
      Pretty much every Senator will vote for it, as it’s hard to vote against anything with ‘sex’ and ‘victim’ in the Bill title.

    I wouldn’t say I’m well versed in weed, however I still know that above 2 lbs is a felony. What a retard to keep that much on hand. He’s fucked. Or he’ll rat out everyone in his house to avoid rotting in prison for forever.

    This is bullshit. Just make weed legal and stop fucking over kids that are just trying to get an extra dollar because everything is expensive for a broke ass college student.
