News May 6, 2008 Drug bust at San Diego State University nets 96 arrests.

A year long investigation into drug dealings at the San Diego campus called Operation Sudden Fall, led to the seizure of over 100,000 dollars worth of marijuana, ecstasy pills, bags of cocaine and methamphetamines. A few hand guns were also confiscated in the operation.

The year long effort began after a girl student died from a drug overdose last year.
Targeted were the dealers and the buyers. One dorm room was used for growing marijuana.
Some officials mention ties to Mexican drug gangs.

Under cover agents over a five month period made 130 buys at fraternity houses, in front of campus dormitories and at various locations off campus.
