Five students at Columbia University in New York were arrested and accused of selling drugs at fraternity houses and other on-campus residences.
The indictment of the students and three other people followed a five-month investigation called “Operation Ivy League,” authorities said yesterday. Undercover officers spent $11,000 in 31 purchases of drugs including cocaine, marijuana, powdered MDMA or ecstasy, and LSD-laced Altoids mints and Sweetarts candy, the New York City Police Department and Bridget G. Brennan, a special narcotics prosecutor, said in a statement.
