I remember the April day two years ago when Sanderia Faye posted to Facebook her account of a bizarre encounter with the Dallas Police, waking up to officers banging on the bedroom door in her townhouse. The novelist and SMU professor (and regular contributor to our summer microfiction series) opened her bedroom to see an officer with an assault rifle pointed at her. They’d kicked in the door to her home.

Turns out, they were looking for her neighbor, who they said was dealing drugs on the dark web with his girlfriend. But the entire encounter made her feel like she was the one who had done something wrong, and the officers treated her that way. In the wake of the killing of Breonna Taylor, Sanderia tells her own story of police abuse for The New Yorkerhere.

At least 13 people, including former and current University of Texas students, have been charged in connection with a drug trafficking operation that authorities say sold counterfeit prescription drugs laced with fentanyl and methamphetamine to college students in Central Texas.

Gregg Sofer, a U.S. attorney for the Justice Department, said the group sold what University of Texas students in Austin and San Antonio thought were prescription Adderall or Xanax but were instead counterfeit medication.

“Many of the pills before you are camouflaged as legitimate and regulated prescription medication,” Sofer said, pointing to a stash of pills officials seized during a drug raid on Thursday.

“When unsuspecting college kids and other drug users put these pills in their mouths, they are playing Russian roulette,” he continued. “They are gambling that the drug dealers did not place lethal doses of drugs like methamphetamine or fentanyl in these pills.”

Authorities on Thursday arrested 23-year-old Varun Prasad of Austin, accusing him of leading the drug operation since April 2019. Of the 13 people accused of working for Prasad, eight of them were former or current University of Texas college students.

According to public records, Prasad has previously faced at least six charges, mostly of felony drug possession, and was convicted in at least two of the cases.

Prasad was listed as a current student at UT, public records show.

Steven Whipple, special agent in charge for the Drug Enforcement Administration's Houston field division, which includes the Austin area, on Friday said four in the group also faced charges accusing them of helping to create an elaborate money laundering scheme.

One of those arrested was 68-year-old Austin real estate investor Benny Daneshjou, who Austin police say helped the group buy real estate to use for safe houses and to store drugs.

One property in Dripping Springs was used to grow hallucinogenic mushrooms, authorities said Friday.

Daneshjou made headlines in 2004 when actress Sandra Bullock successfully sued him for $7 million, alleging that he delivered shoddy work on her Lake Austin home.

Whipple said inside some of the homes described as being similar to drug stores were products from marijuana, drug-laced chocolates to methamphetamine. However, the most sought-after items according to officials Friday were the counterfeit Adderall and Xanax pills.

“These kids are all well-educated,” Whipple said about those arrested Thursday. ``We saw mathematics majors, chemistry majors, a psychology major, business majors. They decided to turn their talents into this illicit operation. They were pretty sophisticated in how they did it.”

The group used social media apps to sell the drugs on and off University of Texas campuses in Austin and San Antonio, authorities said. Whipple said many of the drug houses were in the West Campus neighborhood in Austin.

Two other potential suspects in the case overdosed and died before the arrests Thursday, according to Whipple.

Austin police launched the years-long investigation after someone submitted a tip about the illegal activity in early 2019, according to officials on Friday.

Local officials also noticed a significant increase in overdoses among UT students during the same period.

Authorities on Friday said a former UT San Antonio lecturer was also arrested for supplying the group with drugs.

Sofer said Rose Rodriguez-Rabin was charged in December 2019 for using methamphetamine to make the fake Adderall pills and supply them to Prasad and his group. San Antonio authorities also arrested Brandon Simms, who is accused of helping Rodriguez-Rabin.

Search warrants in addition to arrest warrants Thursday led officers to large quantities of fentanyl, Adderall pills, Xanax, LSD, marijuana, and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Several firearms and about $100,000 were also seized, officials said.

Investigators believe the illegal drugs sold by this organization exceeds $1 million.

'As you can see, there are a multitude of crimes that happened along the way in this investigation, Whipple said. 'The point we would really like people to take away from this investigation is when you send your kids to college and they think they are buying prescription Adderall to get through a finals exam, high chances are it’s not Adderall. It is methamphetamine.'
