Editor's Note: One of the students originally arrested had his arrest expunged in the Lee County circuit criminal court in 2019. The Plainsman has removed his name from this article.
The Auburn Police Division arrested three 19-year-old men on Tuesday night for distribution of a controlled substance. Auburn University student Scott Dyson was charged with three counts of distribution of a controlled substance. Blake Birmingham of Atlanta and an Auburn University student were each charged with one count.
The arrests follow a three-month-long investigation conducted by the APD, Chambers County Drug Task Force and the Tallapoosa County Drug Task Force, according to a statement released by the APD. The three men were arrested on West Magnolia Avenue at around 8:30 p.m. and were transported to the Lee County Detention Facility.
Dyson's bond is $75,000. Birmingham and the second Auburn University student's bonds are $25,000 each.
