DEA Detains Student, Forgets About Him For 5 Days

Filed in National by on May 2, 2012

Words fail almost as much as the DEA failed when they detained a college student, placed him in a holding cell, and then forgot about him for five days with out food or water.

The 24-year old UCSD engineering student was left in the cell for five days without food or water, seemingly forgotten by the federal authorities who detained him.

A law enforcement source told NBC 7 that the student was handcuffed and held in a room no larger than the average bathroom.

Sources say a worker at the DEA discovered the man by chance about five days later after hearing strange noises coming from the holding cells.

When authorities with the DEA discovered that the student was still in the cell, they immediately called emergency medical services. UTSanDiego.com reported that San Diego fire officials said paramedics were called April 25.

    Some federal law enforcement seems to have gone to shit in the past three years.

    I give you this, Miscreant, the DEA sucks under Obama. But the DEA has always sucked.

    I wonder if the second call they made was to their attorneys.
