The case of a Penn State student arrested Friday as part of a larger drug sweep by the Centre County Drug Task Force was bound over for trial yesterday at Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte.

The arrests on Friday involved charges of possession with intent to deliver illegal drugs including psilocybin mushrooms, marijuana, Ecstasy and cocaine.

Centre County District Justice Jonathan Grine determined there was enough evidence to send Robert Langner, 20, to trial on charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and criminal use of a communications facility.

Langner, who turned himself in on Friday afternoon after the series of drug arrests, was the final warrant held by Penn State University Police Supervisor Dwight Smith said.

Six of the remaining 10 Penn State students arrested Friday had their preliminary hearings delayed yesterday so the individuals could contact their attorneys.

Donald Rugh had his hearing delayed to Feb. 2 and Benedict Hildorfer IV and Brian Alexander had their hearings delayed until Feb. 16.

Christopher Caster's and James Shelby's hearings were continued until Feb. 9.

Fernando Martinez's hearing was delayed until Feb. 23.

However, Conor Kelley, Nellie Vishnevsky, Patrick Connelly and Jacob Funk waived their preliminary hearings.

The pre-trial conference date for the students is set for March 17.

Detective Ken Ferron of the Centre County Drug Task Force said the operation was ongoing for about a year.

"[It's a] cooperative investigation between the Drug Task Force and Penn State University Police," he said. "We are working with them on pretty much all of the cases."

Smith said the majority of those arrested were students.

"We just take the information that we get and work with it," he said. "It just so happens the bulk of the arrests were students."

The drug arrests were part of an "ongoing problem" Smith said.

"We generally would not characterize this as a drug ring; there might have been some acquaintances but the majority of them are independent operators," he said.

Judicial Affairs Associate Director Bill Huston said the Office of Judicial Affairs examines any allegations against a student and then proceeds from there.

He said, however, he could not comment on specific cases.

"[Police] will provide referrals to us if they determine the people they are dealing with are Penn State students," Huston said. "When we see these descriptions of the events, we review them in context of our [university] conduct policy."

He said members of Judicial Affairs meet with students in relation to reported events.

Students can request an initial hearing in front of the University Hearing Board, or accept or challenge the sanctions and request a sanction review from the vice president for student affairs, Huston said.

Huston said possible sanctions for major offenses range from a suspension to permanent expulsion.

Ferron said the Centre County Drug Task Force holds outstanding warrants in relation to the drug arrests, but could not comment on how many or whom they are for.
