Eight Great College Drug Busts
By Susie Cagle (Chief Contributor) Tags: arrests, 2 million pot farm, narcotics, illegal substances, drug bust

Drug use among college students is on the rise -- it's only natural that a $2 million pot farm or three might pop up somewhere. That and other narcotic amazements in our rundown of the eight great (as in impressive, not awesome) drug busts of the 07-08 academic year.

8. October 31, SUNY Geneseo. Senior Joshua Balduf, 22, was just being a good neighbor when he invited four teenage trick-or-treaters into his house to smoke a Halloween bowl (after they'd been by several times bugging him for beer and candy). It's too bad one of the kids' parents snitched.7. March 24, Tulane University. Campus police arrested two freshmen in their dorm on charges of possession for an unknown amount of cocaine and marijuana. The students spent the night in jail and were out on bail within a day -- but campus-wide, students complain of a weed shortage.
6. November 5, Goucher College. Two students were kicked out of campus housing after school staff discovered them weighing out several bags of marijuana -- in their locked dorm room. Details surrounding the search and seizure are sketchy at best; the school claims it has the right to enter dorm rooms whenever it chooses, with or without a warrant or prior warning.
5. October 31, SUNY ESF. After responding to a noise complaint, police discovered nearly a half-pound of pot, plus various other hallucinogens and opiates at one student apartment. Two sophomores were arrested. Remember: it doesn't matter if you keep the drugs in a locked closet if you give the cops permission to search your place.
4. October 7, Bard College. Three freshmen were arrested in a makeshift drug den in their dorm room. Authorities confiscated a pound of marijuana, a half kilo of hallucinogens, hash and a freaking meth processing lab. Now that is what I call work ethic.
3. April 18, Oregon State University. After a month-long investigation, police arrested seven people in connection with a drug-trafficking ring, six of whom were OSU students. They also confiscated over a pound of cocaine, 30 hits of E, an ounce of weed and over $9,000 in cash.
2. November 26, State University College of Technology. Jonathan Molina, 19, was caught with almost two pounds of cocaine (about $50,000 worth) in his dorm room. Undersheriff Douglas Vredenburgh said it was the most cocaine he'd ever seen (surely as 'undersheriff' he's really hitting the party circuit hard). Molina faces three to ten years in prison on possession charges.
1. May 2. (School unknown). Tony Huynh, 21, has really earned his place at the top (or bottom, as the case may be) of this list. The 21-year-old chemistry student was arrested this week after a truck crashed into his house, revealing a "pot farm" worth $2 million. Huynh was allegedly growing marijuana in every room of the home. WIN.
Did we miss something? Did your neighbor get caught with a $3 million pot farm? Let us know in the comments!

it's a good thing we've got those ATF task forces arresting and shooting those ignorant "innter-city" "gang-banger" drug-selling youths so they don't get our precious college-going white kids hooked on... oh, wait.

I actually know Tony Huynh personally and he went to the University of Houston.
I used to work with him in a business called ACN.
I still can't believe he was doing this kind of shit what an idiot he had such a bright future ahead of him.

@ Anonymous: The news doesn't do anything but exploit people for a good story. If you didn't notice, it said, "Allegedly growing." If you really knew him, you would know he's smarter than this.
Justice will prevail.

You guys are dumbasses. I'm Tony's twin brother, and for those of you who know Tony, you know damn well he didn't do anything. For those of you who keep running your mouth, I'll kick your ****ing ass.
