Columbia University drug bust - 5 students arrested

By: Christopher Roosevelt

On Tues, 5 students had been imprisoned as part of the recent Columbia University drug bust. The students in question stated nothing as they were handcuffed and taken away by police officers. They are being charged for marketing thousands of dollars worth of narcotics from dorm rooms and fraternity homes. Possibly if they could figure out how to get a payday cash loan they might not have been selling narcotics.

Any person suspected of involvement in Columbia University drug bust



The students associated with the Columbia University drug bust said they sold drugs to pay for school tuition, according to the Columbia Spectator. 20 year old Adam Klein, Chris Coles, Jose Perez and Harrison David along with 22 year old previous student council member Michael Wymbs were all charged with selling LSD, Adderall, marijuana, ecstasy and cocaine on school campuses in their dormitories and fraternity houses.

A spokesperson for the Narcotics Prosecutor's Office said the only one prepared to post bail -- set at $25,000 -- had been Wymbs, who had been expected to be released Tues. night. Rikers Island ended up housing the other four. The spokesperson also stated that David had been the primary target of the investigation. He was the only student to sell cocaine -- including an $880 sale of nearly 20 grams in Sept. The first few purchases by undercover detectives originated from David when the other four were in October and Nov. finally introduced to the drug deal game. Altogether, since the investigation began in July, the students tied to the Columbia University drug bust made nearly $11,000 in sales to undercover officers.

From good to bad



In terms of grades and extracurricular, defense lawyers spoke highly of the students involved in the Columbia University drug bust. For his class, Michael Wymbs was the Engineering Student Council's vice president for 2007-2008 for his class. He said he had to pay for his tuition because his father would not which is why he had been forced to sell drugs. Like Wymbs, who reportedly had a previously clean record and a 3.5 GPA, Chris Coles claimed he too sold drugs to pay for school tuition. There is an additional who's a Gates Millenium Scholar who Bloomberg explains has "limited financial ability." This is Jose Perez who is also known as Stephan Vincenzo.

Tuition for the 2010-11 academic year is about $41,600 as outlined by the university site.
