75 students arrested in San Diego State University drug bust
Dozens of San Diego State University students were arrested after a sweeping drug investigation found that some fraternity members openly dealt drugs and one even sent a mass text message advertising cocaine, authorities said Tuesday.
Two kilograms of cocaine were seized, along with 350 Ecstasy pills, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, hash oil, methamphetamine, illicit prescription drugs, several guns and at least $60,000 in cash, authorities said.
Of the 96 people arrested, 75 were students. Eighteen of the students were arrested Tuesday when nine search warrants were executed at various locations including fraternities, said Jesse Rodriguez, San Diego County assistant district attorney.
The undercover probe, dubbed Operation Sudden Fall, was sparked by the cocaine overdose death of a student in May 2007, authorities said. As the investigation continued, another student, from Mesa College, died Feb. 26 of a cocaine overdose at an SDSU fraternity house, the DEA said.
Those arrested included a student who was about to receive a criminal justice degree and another who was to receive a master's degree in homeland security.
"A sad commentary is that when one of these individuals was arrested, they inquired as (to) whether or not his arrest and incarceration would have an effect on him becoming a federal law enforcement officer," said Ralph Partridge, special agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in San Diego.
Some defendants were scheduled to appear in state court to face charges Tuesday.
During the probe investigators discovered that in some fraternities most members were aware of "organized drug dealing occurring from the fraternity houses by its members," the DEA said in a news release.
"Undercover agents purchased cocaine from fraternity members and confirmed that a hierarchy existed for the purpose of selling drugs for money," the DEA said.
The district attorney's office said search warrants were served in San Diego and suburban La Mesa, including the Theta Chi fraternity house and several apartments.
A member of Theta Chi sent out a mass text message to his "faithful customers" stating that he and his "associates" would be unable to sell cocaine while they were in Las Vegas over one weekend, according to the DEA. The text promoted a cocaine "sale" and listed the reduced prices.
Theta Chi's San Diego chapter declined to comment.
"We're talking to our advisers," said John Phillips, a past president of the chapter.
Dale Taylor, the fraternity's national executive director, said he was "obviously shocked and saddened" by the allegations.
Theta Chi has prohibited the San Diego chapter from group activities like parties or sports and will investigate additional disciplinary measures, up to expulsion of members or the entire chapter.
Theta Chi, based in Indianapolis, has 131 chapters in the U.S. and Canada and more than 161,000 initiates. It was founded in 1856.
The San Diego chapter was founded 61 years ago and has 65 members.
"They were on the upswing," Taylor said. "They had improved their recruitment. They were trying to raise money for a new house."
University police and federal drug agents worked together in the investigation, making more than 130 undercover drug buys at locations including fraternity houses, student parking areas and dormitories, authorities said.
Shawn Collinsworth, executive director of the national office of Phi Kappa Psi, said he was told by two of the SDSU fraternity chapter's leaders that four of its members were arrested. He said the fraternity is cooperating with the investigation.
"It isn't behavior becoming of Phi Kappa Psi," Collinsworth said.
San Diego State is one of the largest schools in California's state university system with about 34,000 students. The campus has an active network of fraternities and sororities.

great way to make money in college, great way to ruin your life.
!st
Are you sure they weren't just filming a Fifty Cent video?
WoW!
Poor guys
If it weren't for speed, cocaine, ecstacy, and guns I would be protesting these guys arrest. In California! Punishing for weed?! In college?! But it was the coke overdoses that got them in this mess in the first place. Look at all that weed! Can they mail it to me?
Capitalism, entrepreneurial know how, and the American dream gone wild. Make money at any cost, but where are the ethical guidelines? It's all great to make boatloads of money, but you need to think of the devastation and damage drugs do to lives and families down the line. It's got to be about more than just you.
Aww man, I wish I was there to get the mushrooms…I want mushrooms sooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. damn I wish they still shipped them from europe to the US. They're too gross to grow.
First of all, guns don't kill. People kill. A person has to pull the trigger. Guns are not bad, they are just misused.
Secondly, I understand why so many people sell drugs these days…its the only way to make money!! Seriously, I know a lot of people who have resorted to selling pot to pay their rent some months. You can work and work and work and still not have enough money to pay your bills. Especially where I live and the cost of living is so high.
Drugs are not a black or white issue. What a bunch of donkeys.
thats impressive….
wholy shit!!
I'm drooling just thinking of smoking all that shit!
Re: IT WAS ME – Yeah right! If you did see the tape you would have posted the link, idiot, for everyone to see.
That's my school…so ashamed people look towards more towards partying, drugs, and crime, than education…seriously this makes our school look bad
I saw this video. It has a gritty urban sensibility and in-your-face attitude that I found a refreshing change from the over-produced…what? It was a news story? A college fraternity? Oh, my gosh! That's terrible. What a terrible thing. Where do these kids get such ideas?
Re: IT WAS ME – AND WHAT DO WHITE PEOPLE smell like WET DOG
I wonder how many of the 75 are business majors.
I can't believe we were going to trust them to protect us? Law enforcement students? Who were their parents?
DAMN! that sucks for those rich kids, lol
wish I went there.
Show mw a gun that jumped up all by itself and killed something. People kill, not guns.
i never heard about anyone dying from a cocaine overdose over at sdsu.
of course this happened in la mesa. shit is drug central.
Yeah…it's the guns. They jump up and start going off all by themselves. The people who own them would NEVER do any harm without the guns, right? You're an idiot.
Where are the Hillary stories today? "Hillary wins but still loses last night…" "It's almost over…" "Clinton options dwindling…"
Its all over MSN, Yahoo, Google, etc. Why not Perez.com?
You hear that sound? Its the sound of the wagons circling the Clinton campaign… It won't be long now.
omg i cant believe they got caught!! fkd up! somebodys gonna owe somebody $$$$$$$$$
From big man on campus to cleaning toilets in da joint. The trust fund wasn't intended to be used for bail money and lawyers. I wonder how much their parents are going to have to pay to try to make it disappear. 150 odd and HOPPING MAD parents who will have to examine why their kids chose money over principles. Some of these kids will think they can get out of this, but this is a lot bigger than stealing coins from the school vending machine.
Re: WHITE PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING STUPID – I'm not generally a racist person… but wow– you sound black.
of course the coke fucks everything up.
you leave my weed and shrooms alone asshole!
My daughter graduated there and now works there. It's pretty shocking but it seems like they were pretty dumb and arrogant.
If guns kill Perez, did a fork make you fat???
PEOPLE KILL, DUH!!!
Pot needs to be legalized. Homos need to be thrown in jail with all the black people.
I go to SDSU. Our reputation sucks now.
guns don't just shoot on their own. it's people that kill.
DAMN!… uh I mean damn? that is wack!
Re: WHITE PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING STUPID – You're just being a troll. That was one woman in the States, and some mentally ill guy in Austria.
Use your brain, and I'm not even from the U.S. Hating only hurts you, not the people you hate.
haha the best part is that theta chi is a nationally dry fraternity…
Anybody know where i can get some shrooms?
Re: LS – white people smell like milk
perez I love this site because it has all the newest gossip and dirty secrets. O and I thought that you should know that Jamie Lenn Spears is having a baby girl.well LOL talk 2 you later.
I wish I went to SDSU, damn.
Re: WHITE PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING STUPID –
not all of the people who were arrested are white. I think the more pressing issue is not ethnicity, but that college students (and non college students) are selling mass amounts of drugs on and around campus.
Re: From Somewhere Else. Dude. – Yes, this persons accusations were stupid, but it is true. We all do stupid things, but as of late, the ish has been hitting the fan, and the secrets have been coming to light on the whites side. It's usually well hidden, but since Bush decided to ruin it for all whites, and allow his barbaric, stupidity to show, it seems everyone in every land decided to follow suit.
Ah yes, my alma mater. Nice to see nothing has changed at the ol university! Party on Wayne…
I went there and saw this firsthand. It is no longer S*T*DSU but rather S*DEA*SU. That is the last thing that school needed.
Re: barney – ..and white people. And why not throw Bush and his whole cabinet in there, too. Apparently there is no bigger thug, and criminal larger than all of them. wouldn't you agree?
Re: bailey – Shrooms? ou havre shrooms? I want some
I am getting my masters at SDSU.
SOOOOOO proud.
Go Aztecs!
Stupid frat boys.
RIP Jenny!!!
I hate drug addicts im glad these dumb asses got busted. Too many people are ruining their lives with drugs and the people around them.
Since when can you get a degree in Homeland Security?
I am getting my masters at SDSU.
SOOOO proud.
Go Aztecs!
Stupid frat boys.
You are SUCH a moron. Gee, CARS KILL! BASEBALL BATS KILL! KNIVES KILL! TRAINS KILL!
Let's get it right — PEOPLE KILL. Not objects. PEOPLE.
YEAH STDSU EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYONE THAT GOES TO STATE IS DRUGGED UP ON SOMETHING
emmmm, looks like some good hydro buds to me
Re: IT WAS ME –
GUNS DONT KILL PEOPLE PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE…WITH THAT SAID PASS THE SPLIFF…THOSE PIGGY WIGGY'S ARE GOING TO GET HIGH TONIGHT! AND YOU KNOW THOSE DIRTY COPS ARE GOING TO SLANG THAT SHIT THEMSELVES TO MAKE SOME SCRILLIONS. FUCKING DIRTY COPS! NO COPS A GOOD COP!
It's about time!!! I always hated those STDsu kids, that made my day.
this is a problem on every campus, it's just that sdsu decided to do something about it. it sucks because it's harming their reputation but atleast they are taking action.
Damn I have been researching what school I was going to got to (either SDSU or UCSD) to complete my Sociology degree. I think I am going to UCSD now (I was leaning that way before this happened). Maybe I should look at UC San Marcos. If I want to get high though I know where to go.
I can't believe they would do something like this KNOWING what the consequences would be if caught. Espcially for buddy that was getting his criminal justice degree. HA! What a bunch of fucking morons!
So sad.
with exception to the guns, i think they were just true businessmen and looking to make a profit on a good market.
Guns don't kill! AIDS does!
i used to party at that frat house. this is pretty crazy.
just blaze
the point is: THATS A FUCKLOAD OF DOPE! and thats why they got cought!
yay sdsu made perezhilton.com!!!!! we love u perez!
Re: WHITE PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING STUPID –
What the fuck. One stupid white person says something stupid and then you take it out on all white people. Everyone does stupid fucking stuff like drive drunk and kills people-it has nothing to do with race! You're just as ignorant as the person who made the stupid comment about black people.
damn..that´s ALOT of dope!
Hahahahah that shit was hella funny yeserday….
A series of civil disobedience actions are planned throughout the city Wednesday in response to the acquittals of three New York City undercover detectives in the killing of an unarmed groom on his wedding day.
Simultaneous protests are planned for 3 p.m. in six key transit areas in the city – five in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn. Large crowds are expected for the acts of civil disobedience, which could see hundreds of people clogging each designated protest spot. The protests are expected to continue through the evening rush hour.
People need to listen to more Bill Hicks..
Drugs are so terrible, but "This Bud's for you!" If the government could tax those drugs they'd promote them.
America is such a joke.
