<p>Student living in dorm arrested for running a drug operation from his dorm room.</p>
<p>Scary that this was going on right in a dorm. No other students/RA reported this? Police claim investigation ongoing for "several months" - and in the meantime, how many new students were exposed?</p>
<p>This student was also arrested during the summer in West Haven for possession (left a backpack with drugs in a rental vehicle). What was he even doing back on campus?</p>
<p>Happens fairly often. Where do you think the students there get their drugs? There are levels of drug use and buying drugs, and most students who use recreationally and occasionally buy from other students they know. Not a whole lot of them go looking outside the school to make their purchases. It’s the drug dealer right there on campus, one of them that generally supplies kids with drugs, and for even more it’s their friends and classmates that are the sources. So no surprise there. There’s are such stories each year, with the names of the colleges changing.</p>
<p>As for having been arrested, the colleges do not check up on criminal records and activities once the student is accepted. A lot of kids have legal trouble while they are students and the colleges do not tend to poke their noses in there unless it 's truly in their face. He was back in campus because he was not doing time. You expect him to let the college know? A lot of criminals, even convicted felons walking around the campus. As along time mom with adult children, I know many kid who got into trouble with the law while in college and some even did time. Most of the ones I know, went back and got their degrees. The problems were most often substance abuse, contraband, vandalism issues. The local lawyers around college towns do just fine along with all those involved in those court systems with payments from parents who are getting their kid off the hook. </p>
