Conclusive proof that being an Ivy Leaguer does not require intelligence: Yale senior arrested for asking police to test purity of his heroin.
Tippy was arrested at 5 a.m. on Jan. 17 after he allegedly brought a small bag containing white powder to the Yale Police substation at Phelps Gate. “He said that he had just purchased what he thought were drugs and wanted to test their purity,” Yale Police Lt. Michael Patten said. Police administered a field test to the substance and discovered that it tested positive for narcotics. Tippy was charged with drug possession and arrested at the scene.
