Cocaine and money seized by DEA agents on and off the campus of San Diego State University.

MAY 6 -- (San Diego, CA) – Ralph W. Partridge, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) San Diego Field Division and the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office and the San Diego State University (SDSU) Department of Public Safety today announced the culmination of an extensive undercover drug operation on the San Diego State University campus resulting in the arrest of 96 individuals, including 75 students selling or buying cocaine, marijuana, or ecstasy.

In May of 2007, an SDSU student was found dead of a drug overdose in her bedroom. As a result, SDSU police began an undercover investigation known as “Operation Sudden Fall.” Undercover officers determined students and non-student were heavily involved in selling drugs for profit, on and off campus. DEA Agents infiltrated several student drug distribution cells and more than 130 drug purchases and seizures were made during the five-month operation.
