Student got arrested in a major drug bust at Gallaudet University

[Frisky Feline]

Royale, wonder who reported on her since cops had to enter the room. My god. I kno we each of us who were students once. We knew who sell or whatever. We didnt bother to report and ignore it. But this one someone who had really issue with molly. Wow.

No single Dr. would do that. She perhaps "Dr. shopped" and went to various pharmacies.

I feel more and more confident that there will be no charges for the prescription meds. She needed all of them. She actually was staying in a special room as to where she had privacy (no roomie) because of her health issues. It was not 100 of the same stuff. Single bottles of various medicines. She's no pill poppin' dealer. She sold pot.

Or she may wanted a single room for her privacy, to keep her drugs and drug money hidden.
Did she had mental illness or physical problems to be taking so many controlled substances?

Mental illness? WTF? No, she has a physical problem.

I don't know if it's confirmed yet but I have heard one set of pills was high blood pressure medicine and another was pain medication for her back.

I heard the rumor of her supposedly "overcharging" a customer but nah... this one's all on her. She was smoking in her room and the RA smelled it. Dumb.

Chill, It was just a question. Since you seem to have all the answers. She seemed tto walk fine in shackles and chains. Oh well.....she is at the mercy of the courts now. Regardless, she knew what she did was wrong and it was very stupid on her part. SMH

She's not physically disabled. She just has had long time health issues. I do not have all the answers... she's definitely a long-time friend of ours for sure. Her older sister was our classmate for years.

Very stupid on her part. No doubt. I'm still going...Molly what were you thinking?!?!

I see that they have her in rehab until her court appearance. Hopefully they keep her there insted of jail or prison. Perhaps there she can actually get help.

As ASL student?

Sorry, I missed this. Yes she was studing ASL. She wanted to become a teacher and was very well on her way to doing that.

No more though.

Just heard about this story. All I'd have to say is, if she is found guilty of dealing drugs (how? Undercover Cop/reported or witnesses, I'm curious) she must pay the price like any other citizen. Sale of pot in DC is probably the lowest sentencing class felony, so she will have minimum sentence.

I also think we must not baby her if she is guilty. We must not express pity & sympathy. If we do that, we are sending the message to hearing people that deaf people need special exceptions and have 'conditions' that excuse us (hearing loss). There is no reason why deaf people are different than hearing people other than not being able to hear.

If people send the message she should not be in jail because she is a nice person or she is good student, it sends a bad message to other deaf students that if they got caught dealing pot, they will not go to jail.

It's not the right approach, IMO.

This is a good post. I agree with it for the most part.

It sends a bad message when one can freely purchase it in one part of the country and have her life taken away from her in another part of the country. I am not standing up for her smoking pot. Like I said, I will not condone the sale or usage of it. I will condone the very fact that someone can get locked up for a decade in one town and in another be revered for it. The war on drugs is insane and a failure. Molly is not a criminal who deserves 10 years and her being Deaf has nothing to do with it.

She has no money. Her family has no money. She's going to get locked up for a long time just because she has no money. That's another thing... you can only get off if you are able to buy a lawyer. She won't be able to. The criminal justice system is effed up and full of people like Molly... harmless, trying to make a better life for themselves, giving back (teacher?!). I have no interest in locking these people up for an extended time.

She's not in rehab. Like I said earlier... the news reports aren't exactly accurate (700 pills? Rehab?). She's in JAIL. She has a preliminary court appearance in mid February.

A teacher? I do not want a pot smoking drug dealer teaching my child. I do not care how poor or rough her life is. She could have found other non criminal ways to make ends meet. Good people do not sell drugs that could put other people in jepardy (sp?) In saying that. I do believe she made a huge mistake and hopefully she can rehabilitate and learn from it.

Fair enough.

You SHOULD care because people like OJ were (he's locked up now for a different charge but he walked from a double murder) walking free while Molly sits in jail. What was it that they called his defense team? The Dream Team? Money buys freedom and it's a FLAW in our legal system. That's not justice.

Agreed on other ways to make ends meet.

She made a horrible mistake and she's about to meet her maker for it. Not much to rehabilitate from though. Her life's basically over with a potential felon label.

Hopefully she gets a smart attorney and her charges can and may come down as she works through the legal system. Especially if she has no other priors. Do not put the cart before the horse. She still may walk with probation.

RA smelled something strong from her room and called DPS (formerly DOSS). When they entered into the room with CRE, you knew the rest of this story. That was how it proceeded when you had a probable cause like smelling odor from marijuana.

As former RA, I busted a few students with marijuana, and they ended up in paying fines. Paying fines were no big deal to me.

Before I became RA, I saw many students including my brothers and friends, do soft and hard drugs on/off the campus and I just shrugged off.

Molly did not use her common sense when she had tons of stuff in her room while they were doing it. marijuana is too powerful odor. apparently she didnt have the paranoid type.

No she did not use her common sense. She was stupid and careless.

*sigh*

America is getting more relaxed with their marijuana drug wars but it's not all there yet. Especially DC! STUPID!

If I remember correctly... didn't Obama decriminalize pot a few months ago? I wonder if that will factor in with her. I realize she's well over the limit but let's be honest... 1 1/2 lbs of pot really is not very much weed either. I'm not saying it's not for distribution but it isn't too much for a personal stash either. She's chump change in the grand scheme of things.

I am curious... Has she received any VRS or financial aid supports while attending Gally?

I don't know but I would not be surprised if so. Texas is really... very very good about things like that. There's a lot of state funded support for Deaf people here. This is a good state to be Deaf in if you want to go to college.

nope marijuana hasn't been decriminalized at federal level yet but Obama expressed that he wanted to.

at this point right now - IMO, 2lbs of marijuana isn't a big issue. it's these 700+ prescription drugs. I wonder what kind but if it's narcotic... she's screwed. very screwed.

I can imagine she would be charged with insurance fraud, medical fraud, theft, and/or illegal possession.

major difference. OJ didn't really buy his justice - sort of. It's because the state messed up on its part and OJ's lawyers did a very good job pointing it out. If the cops didn't mishandle the evidences and if they followed the proper protocols to the letter, OJ's Dream Team won't even be able to win.
