It sounds like Professor Charles Lance was trying to put the “high” back into higher education. Unfortunately for him, the student he asked for help turned him in.

Cops: UGA professor asked student for ‘happy’ drug

A University of Georgia psychology professor accused of asking a student to get him drugs while on a spring break trip surrendered to Clarke County authorities Friday morning, his attorney told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Professor Charles Lance posted $4,000 bond and was released Friday afternoon, according to online jail records.

Arrest warrants had been issued charging Lance with three counts of possession of prescription drugs not in proper container and one count of attempt to obtain dangerous drugs through fraudulent means.

Lance allegedly asked a student, whose name was not released, during class to buy him bupropion while in Mexico, according to UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson. Lance told the class the prescription medication is the “happy, horny, get skinny drug,” Williamson said.

When the student later turned in a paper to Lance, he allegedly asked her again to get the medication and showed her a prescription bottle, according to police. The student reported the incident to a school administrator, who contacted campus police, Williamson said.

Investigators searched the professor’s office, where they located other prescription drugs not in their original containers, police said.

“The charges made in this case involve common prescription drugs and are not controlled substances,” Grant said in a statement. “I have reviewed the criminal charges and am prepared to vigorously defend all allegations that Dr. Lance attempted to obtain medication by fraud or deceit.
