75 Students Arrested in Drug Sting at San Diego State

I've said it before and I'll say it again: STOP TEXTING!!!

Before going to Las Vegas for the weekend, fraternity members involved in the sale of drugs sent text messages to their customers, saying, "We're going to close out our inventory," and inviting them to "buy the cocaine at discounted prices," Damon Mosler, chief of the narcotics division for the San Diego County District Attorney's Office said. After the weekend, they sent another text message saying they were back and ready to do business, Mosler said.

LOL!!! What were they doing, having a spring clearance sale? Rolling back prices like WalMart. You gotta give 'em points for good customer service though.

"They weren't picky about who they sold to," he said, alleging that undercover officers would simply call them and say, " 'Hey, I heard you deal. Will you sell to me?' ...."And they did."

[Their service rating keeps going up. They treat every customer equally. Non-discriminatory. Customer friendly. You just can't get that quality of service everywhere.]

About 100 people, including students majoring in homeland security and criminal justice, were arrested Tuesday in an undercover drug sting at San Diego State University, officials said. Among those arrested, 75 were
students, one of them a criminal justice major charged with possession of guns and cocaine, authorities said. One student allegedly dealing cocaine was a month short of obtaining a master's degree in homeland security at the California school and worked under campus police as a student community service officer. Campus police initiated the investigation about a year ago after a fatal overdose on campus. Five months ago the school solicited the DEA's help.

Mosler described the students as "mid-level distributors"
who were selling more than a person might buy for personal use.

And they say the education system is failing.
