Bridge jump at Vermont college leads to arrest of student from Old Lyme

Colchester, Vt. — An Old Lyme resident was arrested Thursday on a drug charge after police started an investigation into drug activity on the campus of St. Michael's College.

Colin Basler, 19, was charged with possession and distribution of LSD. Basler, a sophomore, has since withdrawn from the college.

Basler is expected to appear in Superior Court on Tuesday to answer to the charges.

Police said they are continuing its investigation and expect additional arrests.
