Police certainly had their hands full after what seemed at first to be a routine traffic stop. Wednesday morning, a car was pulled over for an HOV violation near I-17 and Thomas Road. The officer found bags full of ecstasy pills and cocaine. Warrants were obtained for his apartment near the Arizona State campus in Tempe, where authorities found what seemed essentially to be an ecstasy factory: thousands of pills, about 30 pounds of ingredients to make the drug, and a motorized pill press. The 20-year-old man, who is a student at Arizona State University, was arrested and charged with several drug charges, and is being held until the investigation takes its course. Six additional people were arrested as well, including three other ASU students, allegedly involved in the drug crimes.
