A college student's drug overdose at San Diego State University has led police to a giant drug bust on campus.
Dozens of students were busted with stashes of drugs, guns and money. A total of 96 people were arrested, most of them San Diego State students.
The police investigation was prompted by the death of a freshman student coed who suffered from a cocaine overdose about a year ago. Included in the items found by police: two kilograms of cocaine, 350 ecstasy pills, pounds of marijuana, prescription drugs, $60K worth of cash and a bunch of guns.
Police believe that they have the majority of the drug ring participants in custody. But, they speculate that those people could be a part of a much larger organization so there could be more arrests. There is also a possibility that the drug ring has expanded to include other college campuses.
