No arrests will be made in connection with a drug investigation of members of Bones Gate fraternity until evidence confiscated by the police is sent to a forensics lab to be analyzed, Detective Sergeant Frank Moran of Hanover Police said.
The forensics tests will take four to six weeks, Moran said yesterday.
Hanover Police found and seized evidence of potentially illegal substances during a fire alarm inspection at the fraternity house last Thursday.
Moran said he plans to send the exhibits to a forensics lab early next week for tests to determine if the substances found are controlled drugs, Moran said. If the tests confirm that the evidence contains illegal drugs, Moran said he will then make the arrests.
Since the police seized different quantities of different substances, sending evidence to a forensics lab is "the best thing to do in this case since we have the opportunity," Moran said.
He added he does not see a problem in delaying the arrests because "the [suspected] persons will not pose a threat."
Jeremy Stackawitz '97, president of Bones Gate, said the investigation is of individuals only and "Safety and Security and the College are not investigating the house in any way."
He said there are no new developments in the investigation and there will not be any more for a while.
"We are just going to stand still until the police department makes the next move if the evidence warrants it," Stackawitz said.
