Auburn University lab tech sold date rape drug, police say

A chemistry lab technician at Auburn University was arrested Friday after allegedly selling a large amount of date rape drug, police say.

Police Chief Paul Register told Al.com that Howard, 64, was arrested at his home outside of Auburn. Howard works in the College of Engineering at the university.

Register said in a press conference Tuesday at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama that the FBI and the DEA assisted in the six-month investigation. He also said that no Auburn students have been identified as victims of the drugs Howard is accused of selling.

Howard is charged with the treatment of controlled substance analogues, possession with intent to distribute controlled substances and possession of a firearm during and in relation to a drug-trafficking crime, according to the criminal complaint.

Authorities say Howard bought the drugs through Auburn University’s license, but paid for it himself.

The university said it is not a part of the investigation.
