2 IU students arrested on drug-related charges

Two IU students were arrested Monday on multiple drug-related charges as a two-month undercover investigation by IUPD came to an end.\nIn November, the IU Police Department started making marijuana purchases from sophomore Andrew L. Wolfe through an undercover person, said Detective David Hannum, who oversaw the case.\nAt the last of these purchases, the undercover person noticed that Wolfe appeared to have a fairly large amount of marijuana in his safe, Hannum said.\n"At that point, we decided to pursue a search warrant," Hannum said.\nWhen officers arrived at 265 Varsity Villa on Monday night, they found more than 100 grams of marijuana, a digital scale and more than $800 in cash, some of which had been marked from the undercover transactions, Hannum said, reading from a police report.\nOfficers also found Adderall, a Schedule II controlled substance, in Wolfe's safe.\nHannum said the substance was later determined to belong to Wolfe's roommate, junior Brandon L. Francis.\nIUPD officers found a valid prescription bottle for Adderall, in Francis's name, that had been filled Jan. 27, two days before the arrests were made, Hannum said. However, of the 30 pills prescribed, only 17 remained in the bottle.\nDuring questioning, Francis "admitted that he had given them to his roommate to sell," Hannum said.\nBoth men were arrested on class B felony charges of possession with intent to deliver a Schedule II controlled substance, class D felony charges of maintaining a common nuisance and five class A misdemeanor counts of dealing marijuana.\nWolfe was also arrested on a class-D felony charge for possession of more than 30 grams of marijuana with intent to deliver.
