Four Chadron State College students...including football standout Maurice Threatts...have been arrested for allegedly selling marijuana in Chadron.

The investigation that included the Chadron police, the WING anti-drug task force, and the Nebraska State Patrol was led by Chadron officer Brad Hisel...Chadron State's College Resource Officer.

Police Chief Tim Lordino says the arrests followed 5 search warrant raids late Thursday evening and early Friday that resulted in seizures of more than half a pound of marijuana and over $2,200 in cash.

Also seized were an Express Mail package containing suspected marijuana, 8 MoneyGram receipts, packaging materialss, cell phones, a small safe, and a late-model SUV.

The 20-year old Threatts is charged with delivery of marijuana within 1,000 feet of a playground, delivery of marijuana within 1,000 feet of college property, and possesion with intent to deliver marijuana within 1,000 feet of college property. All are felonies.

21-year-old junior Dan Cuaron was charged with attempt to possess marijuana with the intent to deliver within 1,000 feet of college property and obstructing a police officer. The drug charge is a felony, obstruction a misdemeanor.

22-year old junior Desmond Rogers faces a single felony count of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver on college property, while 20-year old sophomore Chelsea Wilde is charged with aiding the consummation of a felony...identified as the proceeds from the delivery of marijuana.

Lordino calls the arrests "unfortunate" and not characteristic of the overall student body at Chadron State or the school's student athletes...pointing at the the CSC athletic department has a reputation for a drug policy as strict as any in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
