17 TCU students arrested, described as drug dealers

Fort Worth Star Telegram

Seventeen TCU students, including four football players, have been arrested after a six-month investigation by Fort Worth and TCU police that included students selling drugs to undercover officers, police and TCU officials said Wednesday.

"All of those arrested are drug dealers," TCU Police Chief Steven McGee said at a morning news conference.

No names were released Wednesday morning but police said arrest warrant affidavits would be available later today.

A source told the Star-Telegram that at least one starter is among the four football players arrested.

Some of the students were members of fraternities, but police said there was no indication that the fraternities themselves were involved.

Three students were arrested on campus early this morning, police said. The arrests were made calmly; no officers forced their way into dorms.

The drugs being sold, including in hand-to-hand transactions to undercover officers, included marijuana, cocaine, acid, ecstacy and prescription drugs, McGee said.

Fort Worth police said the investigation is ongoing and that more students could be arrested.

The investigation began after police received tips from parents and students, TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr. said.

"Today's events have changed the life of everybody at TCU," Boschini said.

Earlier Wednesday, Boschini announced the arrests on TCU's website.

"Many current TCU students" were arrested early Wednesday in a drug sweep around campus, he wrote.

"TCU has never before experienced a magnitude of student arrests such as this," he said.

He said that the students were immediately "separated from TCU" and that they face immediate expulsion if they are found guilty.

Boschini wrote: "While this news is certainly shocking and disappointing, it is important to remember that TCU has clear expectations for its students: that they behave in an ethical manner, abide by campus policies and adhere to state and federal law.

"These students are charged with acting in a manner that is incompatible with TCU values and against the law. That is simply unacceptable and such reported behavior is not tolerated at this University."

I feel like its how much money a person contributes to the school. The wealthy kids from my uni seemed to get away with a lot and administration turned a blind eye since they were paying full tuition.

Two of my neighbors junior year, two kids from Manhattan and Miami Beach, got busted by campus police with a decent amount of blow and bud and were only given probation. The third roommate who I was cool with said CPD didn't even report it to MPD (DC) since there was supposedly enough to get some charges on them. They moved off campus mid-semester so they could do whatever without CPD getting on them.
