CANTON — Authorities in Madison County say a 19-year-old man has been arrested for suspicion of selling the drug LSD at Mississippi State University.
Madison Sheriff Randy Tucker tells WCBI-TV that Kaleb Chhabra was booked with possession with intent to distribute the drug.
Tucker says investigators believe Chhabra acquired the drug in Internet purchases, then sold it in Starkville.
Deputies say they seized about 700 doses of the drug when arresting Chhabra.
Tucker says Chhabra is a former Mississippi State student and is believed connected to the LSD-overdose death of a 22-year-old man in Starkville.
It was uncertain whether the suspect has an attorney.
