According to police reports and news accounts, a five-month New Jersey State Police investigation
brought law enforcement to Princeton University. Early one morning, authorities raided a dorm.
Inside, they arrested Mitch Daniels and two other students.The date was May 14, 1970.
The raid happened in Cuyler Hall 111, a two-bedroom suite where Daniels was staying with two friends.
Newspaper accounts reported that in addition to marijuana, an undercover officer bought other drugs,including LSD,
during numerous visits to the room over about a three-month period.
Another officer later testified he found enough marijuana there to fill two size-12 shoe boxes.
Five months later, a grand jury indicted Daniels on two counts, marijuana possession and maintaining a nuisance.
The nuisance - maintaining a room for the illegal keeping and selling of narcotic drugs.
Eventually the prosecutor agreed to drop those charges and Daniels pled guilty to a disorderly persons charge.
If Daniels, who for years has tried to pass this off as a simple marijuana arrest, has nothing to hide,
why doesn't he disclose all of the legal documents involving his arrest and indictment?
That's the real question here and one that Daniels needs to answer for Hoosiers.
Undoubtedly, Republicans are now going to start flooding newspapers across the state with letters to the editor
trying to deflect attention from this story by accusing the governor and the Democratic Party of running a negative
campaign and launching personal attacks. Nothing could be further from the truth.
An Indianapolis television station broke this story, not us.
