Penn State students accused of running drug ring out of off-campus fraternities
The drugs were cut, packaged and sold primarily to Penn State students, investigators said.
By David Chang • • More than a dozen current and former Penn State University students are facing charges in connection to an alleged drug trafficking ring involving members of two off-campus fraternities, prosecutors announced Monday.
The alleged operation involved members of the Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi fraternities, with drugs cut and packaged at fraternity houses and sold largely to students, according to the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office.
Prosecutors also allege some fraternity pledges helped cut and package cocaine as part of their initiation into the fraternities.
“This was a coordinated and highly-profitable drug-trafficking crew revolving around two senior members of the fraternities, other fraternity brothers, and pledges,” Attorney General Dave Sunday said in announcing the charges.
The allegations stem from 2023 and 2024 and were operated off campus, Sunday said.
“We did not hear of any drug packaging happening on Penn State’s campus,” Sunday said. “Again, the packaging happened at off-campus fraternity houses. And the actual drug dealing was largely from friend to friend, fraternity brother to fraternity brother, acquaintance to acquaintance and at fraternity houses and/or during parties or social engagements.”

The mayor of a northern Massachusetts town went viral on social media in recent days after his lawyer told reporters the mayor doesn’t speak English when they pressed him about being arrested for COVID-19 pandemic relief fraud.
Lawrence Mayor Brian DePeña, 61, was arrested Friday morning after an investigation into his alleged misuse of more than $1.5 million of Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL), a program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) under the CARES Act to assist struggling businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"He doesn’t speak English. No comment," DePeña's lawyer said in the clip as DePeña repeatedly smiles and says, "God bless you," to the reporters.
The clip of the exchange quickly spread on social media, prompting criticism from users wondering aloud why the mayor wouldn’t be able to answer questions in English.

Fox News Digital reached out to DePeña's office for comment.

He previously served on the Lawrence City Council from 2016 to 2021. DePeña has previously acknowledged that he was once an "undocumented immigrant," saying he came to the United States "without papers," and later became a U.S. citizen.
