The Nebraska State Patrol says a student at Mid Plains Community College in North Platte has been arrested after troopers found a large amount of drugs in his vehicle and dorm room.
At the request of college officials, troopers brought in a K9 to sniff a parking lot on campus on Thursday afternoon. The dog detected the odor of a controlled substance coming from a 2013 Dodge Dart, which belongs to 19 year old Tyler Bahler of Lamar.
Troopers found two grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. A search warrant was then executed on Bahler’s dorm room after MPCC staff found drug paraphernalia and marijuana edibles in the room.
Investigators then found ten grams of marijuana, eleven doses of suspected marijuana edibles, approximately one pint of suspected hash butter, one dose of suspected LSD, additional drug paraphernalia and more than $5,000 of suspected drug money.
Bahler was arrested on multiple drug charges. Other charges may be added pending lab testing.
