75 Students, 21 Others Arrested in Drug Sting

SAN DIEGO -- Ninety-six people were arrested, including 75 students, after a six-month undercover drug investigation centering on San Diego State University, the district attorney's office said Tuesday.

Seven fraternity houses were infiltrated by undercover agents, officials said. Agents allegedly discovered evidence of widespread drug dealing among some fraternity members.

Police said their raids had recovered 50 pounds of marijuana, 48 marijuana plants, 350 ecstasy pills and 30 vials of hashish oil, as well as cocaine, psychedelic mushrooms, methamphetamine and illicit prescription drugs.

Also seized were a shotgun, three semiautomatic pistols, brass knuckles and $60,000 in cash.

One alleged dealer is just a month away from receiving a master's degree in homeland security and had worked with the campus police as a security officer, officials said. Another student, who was arrested on suspicion of possession of cocaine and two guns, is a criminal justice major, officials said.
