Police picked up 96 individuals for charges stemming from possession and sales of cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy and other drugs.

Authorities say among those arrested is a student who worked as an employee of the campus police and was one month away from graduating with a Masters degree in Homeland Security, another who officials say had 500 grams of cocaine and two guns is a Criminal Justice major.

As part of the investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration and San Diego State University Police say they infiltrated seven fraternities on campus, and found that most or all of the members were aware of the drug dealing activity in their organizations.

Law enforcement sources gave one example of a fraternity member who sent a text message to his "faithful customers," alerting his customers that he and his "associates" were headed to Las Vegas for a few days and would be unavailable for transactions – but in the message he allegedly sent, he mentioned "sale" prices on cocaine.

The crackdown by the DEA and San Diego State University Police came after two accidental cocaine overdoses on campus in the past year. The initial undercover operation, dubbed "Operation Sudden Fall," began after a female student died from a cocaine overdose last year.

Law enforcement sources say that in February, while the operation was underway, an SDSU student died from an accidental overdose of cocaine in a fraternity house.

Police served nine search warrants; evidence recovered includes four pounds of cocaine, 50 pounds of marijuana, marijuana plants, and other assorted drugs including ecstasy pills, mushrooms, hash oil, methamphetamine and prescription drugs.

Additionally, police say they found a shotgun, three semi-automatic pistols, brass knuckles and $60,000 cash.

yeah man but they're the dealers...they're making hella bank. i know people at my school who fund their entire education on selling drugs. these people got too comfortable, lost their stigma as drug dealers and have now put their entire future at risk...
it's really unfortunate...

"student who worked as an employee of the campus police and was one month away from graduating with a Masters degree in Homeland Security"

ouch.

didn't know this was happening in SDSU, but good to know that the school is doing something about it.

o.o;; My friend who goes to UCSD says SDSU is a notorious party school

[Odango]

I go to SDSU, and while it is known for parties, it's only among the frat's and sorority's. The majority of the students that were arrested were from Frat's. 6 of them have been suspended and are under investigation. So it's not the -entire- student population. Needless to say a lot of us were shocked too, or at least my friends and I were. We knew there were drugs, but honestly there are drugs on every campus. But I'm glad our administration is at least doing something about it~

[phoenix rise]

one of the dudes arrested was majorng in "homeland security"?

lol

well i guess just like the movie training day it "you have to be a wolf to catch a wolf" or some tish like dat...

[allatonce]

yeah.. There are drugs at virtually every campus. <Can deny that, but drugs and alcohol are especially prevalent in frats/sors.
andd my friends were telling me how SDSU is a party school. Nothing compared to UCSD and SDU/USD <sp?.

the thing is, the older heads in the fraternity made all the pledges deal and it kept on going and going. so everyone gets caught in the web.
