Police arrested 17 students at Texas Christian University early Wednesday morning, including four members of the football team, as part of an investigation into students selling drugs.
TCU Police Chief Steve McGee said the students were selling marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs to students and football players.
According to the warrant affidavits posted by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the students were charged with delivery of either marijuana or a controlled substance or simulated controlled substance.
The arrests took place at locations both on and off campus, including fraternity houses.
The drug bust was a result of a joint investigation between Fort Worth Police and TCU Police that began six months ago after complaints of drug usage on campus from students, staff and the community, McGee said.
The students sold the drugs “hand-to-hand” to undercover police officers on several occasions, McGee said.
He said the investigation is ongoing and there could be more arrests.
