The day after the incident warrants for arrest were issued by the Alamance County Magistrate's Office for one of the freshmen.
One of the freshmen was arrested on Wednesday, Dec. 4, followed by the arrests of the sophomore student and the other freshman student on Friday, Dec. 6 in reference to "outstanding warrants," according to the report.
One of the freshman was charged with possession with intent to sell and distribute marijuana among other charges. The student was released after paying a $10,000 bond.
The sophomore student was arrested on intent to deliver amphetamine, commonly sold under the name adderall, considered to be a Schedule II drug in North Carolina. The student's bond was set at $5,000, but the student didn't pay the bond and was released on good standing.
The other freshman was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and was released after paying the $2,500 bond.
In total, 44 pills and capsules of amphetamine were seized in addition to over 25 grams of marijuana.
Elon News Network contacted the three students with requests for comment. The sophomore had no comment while the two freshmen have yet to respond to the request.
