IU freshman Nathan Kolodziej, 19, was arrested March 21 after several purchases of drugs by undercover IU Police Department cadets.
According to the probable cause affidavit filed March 22, Kolodziej has been charged with at least eight felony counts: three counts of dealing in cocaine, two counts of dealing in psilocybin mushrooms, one count of dealing in LSD, one count of dealing in MDMA and one count of dealing in Alprazolam, which is sold as Xanax.
IUPD first began making undercover purchases of drugs from Kolodziej on Feb. 11, IUPD detective Dave Hannum said in the affidavit. On that date, an IUPD cadet purchased one plastic bag of mushrooms weighing 4.6 grams from Kolodziej at Ashton Center.
A plastic bag of mushrooms weighing 4.63 grams was purchased from Kolodziej by IUPD cadets Feb. 24 at Fountain Park Apartments. The undercover cadets also purchased four plastic bags, each containing one blotter square, or hit, of LSD, and one plastic bag weighing .034 grams containing four capsules sold as Molly or MDMA.
An IUPD cadet purchased two plastic bags of cocaine weighing 2.69 grams combined from Kolodziej on Feb. 26 in front of Fountain Park Apartments.
Two IUPD cadets purchased two bags of cocaine, weighing a total of 2.61 grams, and two bags containing four Xanax tablets each from Kolodziej March 9 in the Teter Quad circle.
On March 21, IUPD officers arrested Kolodziej after two undercover IUPD cadets purchased two grams of cocaine from him. Kolodziej’s backpack, which was searched upon his arrest, contained five bags of cocaine, weighing a total of six grams, 152 blotter squares of LSD, 64 Vyvanse capsules, 12 bags of THC wax and one large square of THC wax, according to the affidavit.
A search warrant was obtained and served later that day, and IUPD officers found seven bags of marijuana, 94 THC suckers, four Xanax tablets, some paraphernalia and $9,100 in cash in Kolodziej’s room in Ashton Center, Hannum said in the affidavit.
