Virginia: Breaking down the drug bustAt a press conference last Friday, Virginia local authorities announced the indictment of 33 people on charges of drug distribution and sales and the seizure of marijuana, cocaine, opium, ecstasy and psilocybin mushrooms worth $20,000-22,000. As of Monday afternoon, 15 of those indicted had been arrested, including eight Virginia University students.
The arrests mark the conclusion of a 15-month undercover operation conducted by the Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement (JADE) Task Force. The investigation, dubbed "Operation Spring Break Down," involved agents from the Charlottesville, Virginia University and Albemarle County, Virginia police departments, the Virginia State Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. These law enforcement officials were aided in the investigation by several University students and employees.
The news sent rumors flying about the University, as many students expected new arrests at any time. Speaking to reporters on Friday, Capt. Chip Harding of the Charlottesville Police Department said, "There's going to be a lot of people nervous tonight and wondering where the JADE operation is going next."
With such a preponderance of law enforcement resources arrayed against them, University drug offenders have a right to be nervous. But I'm more concerned about the conduct and priorities of the JADE task force.
On the surface, Operation Spring Break Down seems like an impressive piece of law enforcement. But a closer look reveals the humble nature of both the investigation and the offenses involved.
The JADE task force seized $20,000-22,000 worth of drugs and secured 33 indictments over the course of Operation Spring Break Down. That's an average of $606-666 per suspect -- small time stuff, to say the least. Furthermore, the individuals arrested were not part of any organized drug ring. Lt. Donald Campbell, the coordinator of the JADE task force, told The Daily Progress that "Some of the people … associated and dealt with each other, but not all those people knew each other and dealt with each other. It's not like one big ring or anything."
So, in sum, the 17 JADE personnel conducted a 15 month investigation and found only 33 isolated offenders in possession of an average of $606-666 worth of drugs apiece. That such an extensive investigation yielded such paltry results should call into question the true extent of the University's drug problem or perhaps the competence of the JADE task force.
The investigation seems particularly absurd in light of the swashbuckling manner in which last week's arrests were made. Beginning around 7 p.m. on Thursday, law enforcement officers, working in teams of five to six, raided numerous Corner bars in search of the suspects. Several students were arrested at the Biltmore Grill and one outside O'Neill's Pub. When asked about the decision to arrest the students at Corner bars, Campbell declined to offer an explanation.
Still more dramatic was JADE's initial attempt to capture the 15 University students who were indicted. Prior to the bar arrests, each student was sent a letter inviting him to join "Zeta Tau," a fictitious secret society. The students were instructed to meet at the Rotunda on Thursday evening for their induction. The five students who responded to the letter were escorted to City Hall in a van decorated with "Zeta Tau" insignia, where they were arrested.
Although slightly humorous, the "Zeta Tau" ruse was nothing short of juvenile. The JADE agents who laid the trap knew the names and addresses of each student suspect. But rather than arrest the students at their homes or fraternity houses, they devised an elaborate prank that served little purpose except to humiliate the suspects at the time of their arrest. At the press conference, Campbell joked that the name "Zeta Tau" stood for "Zero Tolerance."
JADE's conduct last week was out of all proportion to the severity of the suspects' alleged crimes, and it should cause the Charlottesville community to question the professionalism of its law enforcement officers. Rather than raiding bars, tricking suspects and crowing about their menial triumphs in a public press conference, JADE officials should have made the arrests quietly and moved on to other projects. The business of the Virginia police is law enforcement, not showmanship.
There are two possible conclusions to be drawn from Operation Spring Break Down: Either drugs are not a major problem at the University, or JADE is not competent to investigate the problem of drugs at the University. If 33 indictments and $22,000 worth of narcotics are the extent of the University's drug problem, then our law enforcement resources could be put to better use. But if those seizures and indictments are representative of a larger drug problem, they're a sorry prize for 15 months' work.
