| 2 18 year olds busted for dealing Wednesday, September 5, 2007 For two Northeastern freshman, school year begins and ends with arrest By Andrew Ryan, Globe Staff A pair of freshmen at Northeastern University learned a tough lesson before classes even started this semester, when one of them allegedly leaned out the window of his dormitory and yelled something regrettable in earshot of plainclothes police officers. "If you're looking for weed, my roommate Ferrante has some for sale," Michael R. Emery yelled, according to a release issued today by the Suffolk district attorney's office. The sales pitch, made Sunday to a fellow student out a second-floor window at the Henenway Street residence hall, got Emery, 18, and his roommate, Matthew J. Ferrante, 18, in a lot of trouble. After their room was searched and officers found a bevy of marijuana, smoking accessories and liquor, the pair was arrested, arraigned, and apparently thrown out of school. "I can tell you that they are no longer students here at Northeastern," said Laura Shea, a school spokeswoman, who declined to comment further. According to the release from prosecutors, police went to the second floor of the dormitory after hearing Emery yell and found the door open. In plain view was a bottle of Grey Goose vodka, a shot glass, and a plastic baggie of marijuana. The officers knocked and identified themselves to Emery, of Haverhill, and Ferrante, of North Andover. As they spoke to the teens, police spotted another bag of marijuana and a glass pipe. The officers read the students their rights and received permission to search the room, according to the release. The search yielded eight small bags of marijuana, a larger bag containing three to four ounces of marijuana, hundreds of clear plastic baggies, and a Triton T2 digital scale. The officers also found a grinder, a bong, $1,045 in cash, bottles of Malibu rum, Smirnoff Twist raspberry vodka, and Southern Comfort, and a vaporizer, a device that uses heat to release marijuana's intoxicating chemicals but does not burn the plant. Outside the window of their room, the students had rigged a pulley system that had been designed to raise and lower items from the room directly overhead. It was not immediately how the students were using the pulley system, prosecutors said. Emery and Ferrante were arraigned Tuesday in Roxbury District Court and charged with possession of a class D substance with intent to distribute in a school zone, possession of alcohol by a minor, and conspiracy to violate the state's drug laws. The teens were released without bail and are scheduled to return to court Oct. 24. A message left at Emery's parents home was not returned. Reached by phone today at his parents home in North Andover, Ferrante said: “I do not want to talk about it.� I have to add that I know both Mike and Matt. I have know the Emery family since I was eight.. so it would be about seven years.. He was in the same class as my sister.. I am astounded at this.. He has two younger brothers.. one that is sixteen and a younger one just maybe 10 or 11..? My sister graduated highschool with both and I know that Mike had a full scholarship (i believe) to Northeastern.. I also heard that after he was expelled that Mike might be going to the college my sisters boyfriend goes to locally.. he saw Mike in the bookstore.. Anyways I am so shocked.. I can't believe it. Anyways thats what happens when your an idiot! |

Ditto I'd say 75% or more of the kids in my high school were partying hard often by freshman year of HIGH SCHOOL. I'm talking 14 years old. There was also a place were everyone would go and smoke weed during classes. Weed wasn't the only thing they were doing, either. Now that I'm in university, I don't even NOTICE when people are smoking up. People my age are BIG into the bar scene around here, though. Personally, I've never tried any type of drug. Though, I did drink underage on occasion (like prom party). Now, I'm of age & rarely ever drink lol I was never into the party scene.
