The U.S. Naval Academy now has a drug scandal brewing.
The United States Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) wwas informed of a problem three months ago. It was notified that midshipmen were selling drugs on campus.
Current reports estimate ten midshipmen were part of the** elaborate scheme to supply midshipmen throughout the Naval Academy with powerful drugs including cocaine, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and Ketamine**. Fox News specifies the criminal ring used Bitcoins to purchase the drugs on the dark web then distributed the product throughout campus.
Wednesday morning, the Academy conducted a surprise drug test for all 4,500 midshipmen at 5:30 AM.
Fox News has obtained the names of the midshipmen who have tested positive for drugs but says the names will be withheld as the investigation is ongoing.
Since charges have not been brought against any of the suspected midshipmen, Fox News is withholding the names of those implicated. Two are prior enlisted midshipmen who had spent time in the fleet before gaining appointment to the Naval Academy, which educates and trains young men and women to become officers in the Navy or Marine Corps. One of the midshipmen tested positive on a drug test in early January after returning from Christmas break, adding more urgency to the investigation, according to one midshipman.
This is potentially the biggest drug scandal in USNA history. In 2010-2011 27 midshipmen has their careers ended because of synthetic marijuania use. Since that time, 7 have been expelled for drug use.
Their is zero tolerance for drug use meaning that everyone who tests positive most likely will see their Naval careers end even before they begin. It is possible this runs into the hundreds before it is all over.
