His room mate had drug paraphernalia in their dorm and the cops just showed up. The drugs though of course were hidden in the 'common area' of the dorm room and the roomie was gone, so Ryan go busted even though the drugs belonged to the roomie. I know Ryan had talked to his RA about suspecting his roomie had illegal substances in the room a while back and multiple times. Hopefully he'll get out of this somehow. I also know Ryan had found alcohol before that his roomie was hiding and poured it out (both underage). I kept telling him they do drug sweeps every now and then with dogs and the kid would end up caught most likely. They tried to get Ryan to lure the roomie there but I guess the room mate knew something was up and so he sent an unsuspecting friend to go pick up the drugs. So now friend and Ryan are in trouble too but the roomie hasn't shown. What usually happens in situations like this?

Last I heard, my uncle is on his way and quite ticked off. He's an ex green beret turned preacher and I would not want to be on his bad side lol...

Man, that sucks!! Hopefully they just give your cousin a drug test and let him go. I would be so pissed off, its not like your cousin had a choice to just walk away from the whole situation, its his room too. But I'm sure this happens alot more than we think, and I'm sure the police has an effective way to handle it. :)

Hopefully. Ryan tried to do what was right in alerting the RA, which has probably caused the drug bust in the first place. They're acting like if the drugs hadn't been in the bathroom but on the other kid's side that he could have left, but now they 'don't know whose drugs they are'.

My roomie had illegal prescriptions but luckily she was never busted. It always made me nervous they were there. I know my dad had a roomie in his dorm that was growing marijuana in their room, lol. I'm sure it happens a lot. Pot luck room mates is NOT a good idea it seems.

I didn't think paraphernalia was illegal. if they didn't find drugs how could they arrest him?

I would imagine maybe with his certain story that they would just let him off with a drug test.. Is there documentation of him reporting the possibility of drugs to his RA at some point?

I'm sure there is. I'm only receiving news second hand though.

I think it depends. My EX friend got arrested for paraphernalia but it was a little more R rated than lets say a bong.

I really hope your cousin gets cleared. With drugs involved things can get messy. Good thing he talked to someone about it before the bust.

I hope it just clears itself up. It sounds like your cousin did all the right things and hopefully reason will prevail.

If the start talking about charges, he should definitely get a lawyer, but I bet they know that (and hopefully it won't come to that!).

What a shame !!! Why don't they hit the dealers rather than the occasional uses !!
