Two people were arrested and a third was cited on multiple drug charges related to manufacturing and selling drugs on the UCSC campus.UC Santa Cruz campus police say they received a tip back in January about drug dealers on campus.It started when an undercover officer purchased drugs from one of the dealers and ended with Tuesday's raid that confiscated enough drugs and paraphernalia to fill three police vehicles."I got a text at just about 5:30 this morning from the neighbors saying they were serving a warrant on the house and my son was going to work and they saw them staging," said Janine Ciapponi of Soquel.Multiple law enforcement agencies with two "Bear Cat" vehicles raided this house along the 3500 block of Chardonnay Road, in Soquel.They confiscated a number of drugs including mushrooms, L.S.D., M.D.M.A, Ketamine, and a hash oil lab. Neighbors weren't too surprised. "People drive up my driveway cause I'm one of the only one's that doesn't have a gate; so they're up here turning around say they're looking for that house," said Ciapponi.Police arrested 24-year-old former UCSC student Matthew Wilcox Hutchins and 26-year-old, Calvin Arturo Cortez of Santa Cruz on multiple felony charges. Charges that include possession of narcotics for sale and conspiracy to distribute drugs.Police cited 25-year-old Cody Jay Blair of Soquel for multiple drug offenses."We've been investigating since January. We have made some buys from at least one of the individuals over the last several months and felt that given all the information we needed to execute the search warrants and arrest warrants this morning," said UC Santa Cruz Police Chief Nader Oweis.Students weren't necessarily surprised about drug sales on campus and believe campus police are only scratching the surface."God no! No! If you want that kind of thing there's 35 people you can contact on Snapchat downtown," said student Harrison Melcher."I mean there's a large population of people here, right, so it's there must have been a demand, right. So, it's not necessarily a red flag for me but it would be a concern to me if harder drugs were being dealt." said graduate student Alexandra Rae.UC Santa Cruz Police would neither confirm nor deny whether this case is related to the student who was arrested in February for using an app to sell drugs on campus.The chief also anticipates another arrest as the investigation continues.Other law enforcement agencies that assisted in the raid included: Santa Clara Police, Santa Clara Specialized Enforcement Team, San Benito County Unified Enforcement, Santa Cruz County Crime Team and Santa Cruz Police.Back in 2009, there was a fire on this same property on which it was discovered there were between 1400-1500 marijuana plants growing on the property.
