Two UT sophomores were arrested and charged with felonies for manufacturing the hallucinogenic drug dimethyltryptamine in two rooms in Melrose Hall following a raid on their rooms on December 1, 2007. They were also charged with misdemeanors for possession of marijuana. The pair was arrested in Vonore for possession of drugs, and they admitted to manufacturing DMT (a Schedule I drug) in their dorm rooms. The rooms were quarantined, and then sanitized.
