Drug Possession: 5 Accused of Operating LSD Ring on Drexel Campus



Two Drexel students are among the five people arrested and accused of operating a “huge” LSD ring on the campus of Drexel University. Investigators with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office said the drug ring was likely going on for about a year before they were able to break it up. The three non-students accused of masterminding the operation were taking home anywhere from 00 to 000 a week, investigators said. According to the DA’s press release, one of the Drexel students began cooperating with police earlier this month after he was arrested in Upper Moreland on marijuana and gun charges. That student led investigators to a second Drexel student accused of being the campus supplier for the operation. He too became a confidential informant, allowing investigators to record phone calls of drug transactions, according to the District Attorney. In an overnight raid on Florence Street, drug agents confiscated 9500 hits of LSD worth about 000 on the street, according to the DA. They arrested the three alleged masterminds of the operation — Raphael Zappala and Joshua Dassay, both from Philadelphia and Wesley Crawford from Ardmore. Those three face various drug violations and one charge of endangering the welfare of a child because a baby was at the apartment during the raid, according to the DA. The two Drexel students are expected to be charged with drug possession. Visit us @: Twitter: twitter.com Facebook: www.facebook.com Facebook: www.facebook.com
