Drug Trial

The first student ever arrested in a Harvard dormitory for narcotics violations will come to trial today in Cambridge courts.

On March 18, Cambridge police arrested Andrew M. Wilson '72 in his Briggs Hall room and charged him with three narcotics counts: cultivating and growing marijuana, unlawful possession, and being present during the execution of a narcotics search warrant.

Wilson was released on $1500 bail and arraigned the following morning before Judge L. Francis Feloney '43 in East Cambridge District Court. Feloney continued Wilson's case until today.

Wilson is a biochemistry and premed student from Syracuse, N. Y. The penalties which he could get total a maximum of seven and one-half years imprisonment and a $4000 fine.
