LSD ring busted on Drexel University campus! * 1

Alleged LSD ring masterminds: Raphael Zappala, Wesley Crawford, Joshua Dassay

PHILADELPHIA - January 31, 2012 (WPVI) -- Authorities in Philadelphia and Montgomery County have arrested five people in connection with an alleged million-dollar LSD ring operating on the campus of Drexel University.

The arrests came after an investigation that began January 18, with the arrests of a Drexel student in Montgomery County and his supplier.

Early Tuesday morning, officers from the District Attorney's Dangerous Drug Offender Unit, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and Philadelphia Police raided a home in the 4800 block of Florence Street.

Agents seized 9500 hits of LSD with a street value of approximately $28,000 and $10,000 in cash and arrested the three alleged masterminds of the operation:

*Raphael Zappala, 33, of 50th Street in Philadelphia
*Joshua Dassay, 31, of Florence Street in Philadelphia
*Wesley Crawford, 34, of Haverford Road in Ardmore

Investigators believe the ring operated on the Drexel University campus, selling LSD for over a year before it was busted. The D.A. says the group was selling the drug for $10 to $30 a hit. Investigators estimate the defendants were clearing $5,000 to $15,000 a week during that time period.

All three men were charged with Delivery, Possession with Intent to Deliver, Conspiracy, Use of a Communication Device to Facilitate a Narcotics Transaction, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child (EWOC). The defendants are facing the EWOC charge because an infant was at the apartment during the time of the raid.

Joshua Dassay is wanted in 9 other states for other crimes.

"This is another example of excellent teamwork between the different members of law enforcement in the Commonwealth," said District Attorney Seth Williams in a statement. "There was a huge drug ring operating on Drexel's campus and we were only able to identify and infiltrate it because of cooperation with the Upper Moreland Police Department, Drexel University, the Philadelphia Police Department, the DEA and members of our Drug Enforcement Unit. It is sad that this was taking place on a campus of higher learning, but I hope that the actions of a few do not tarnish the image of educational excellence that we associate with Drexel University."

The D.A. said the investigation began with the help of detectives from the Upper Moreland Police Department. On January 18, 2012 Upper Moreland detectives notified the D.A.'s office that they had arrested a Drexel University student on marijuana and gun charges who was willing to provide information on a drug ring operating on the Drexel campus. That student allowed District Attorney's Detectives to record phone calls of his drug transactions.

The transactions included the sale of drugs to another Drexel student who was working as a supplier to the first student. The second student was subsequently arrested, decided to cooperate with investigators and became an informant as well.

The information and taped phone conversations from both of those students led to Tuesday's arrests.

9500 hits LSD + $28,000 + 10,000 = $1,000,000?

What am I missing here?

I can't believe they needed any kind of investigation. You see those 3 on a college campus... you know what's up. :lol:

I can never understand why people with so much of a chemical would sell it to individuals. That is the easiest way to get caught. This sucks for Drexel but 9500 hits is negligible compared to what is out there and what a chemist can cook up in one synthesis.

Why is it always rings that get busted? What about drug triangles or drug trapezoids?

Pretty pissed though. Not sure what the situation is like in America, but Canada, has been damn near dry for about 4 years now.. Lsd is so damn scarce, you practically need to know the importer to get any. My point is off all the chemicals, I wish they'd leave lsd alone. :frown:

On the bright side I can see a huge influx of quality blotters coming in about 4-5 years from now, depending on how long it takes to master O-chem :wink:
