A Columbia University student arrested last year on drug charges pleaded guilty, accepting a deal with prosecutors.

Michael Wymbs of New York entered the plea today to third-degree attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance. He appeared before Justice Michael J. Sonberg of state Supreme Court in Manhattan. The plea will allow him to avoid a possible prison term of as long as 2 1/2 years in exchange for five years’ probation, under an offer by the district attorney’s office.
