LSD overdoses at Villanova lead to 2 arrests

Two Villanova University students were in jail Monday in connection with LSD overdoses during the weekend at the Main Line campus, officials said.

Four students, including one of those arrested, required hospital treatment for "drug-induced state," police said.

Justin W. Yim, 18, of Douglaston, N.Y., was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver, use of drug paraphernalia, and related crimes.

His roommate, Daniel Jin, 19, of Towaco, N.J., was charged with aggravated assault, harassment, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.

Almost $9,000 in cash and 37 tablets of LSD, drug paraphernalia, and an envelope suspected to contain marijuana found in the dorm room, said Radnor Township Police Lt. Chris Flanagan.

Police said they were called to the dormitory early Saturday, where they found Jin "out of control" and assaulting a female student. That student, evidently, was not injured.

Jin was one of the four treated at Bryn Mawr Hospital.

Yim, who allegedly supplied the drugs, was not found until Sunday, police said.

David Tedjeske, the school's director of public safety, said that in his eight years, he had not heard of an LSD-related incident.

"The university has no tolerance for drug dealers," Tedjeske said. A student found dealing drugs would be subject to expulsion, he said.

He said that parents of the students were notified when the three were taken to Bryn Mawr Hospital, where they were treated and released, Tedjeske said.

Yim and Jin were being held at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility, in Delaware County, in lieu of $50,000 bail each.
