Ecstasy Ring: Broadview Heights Student Among Those Accused

The groups' text messages gave them away, according to the Plain Dealer.

A Broadview Heights woman was among four Baldwin Wallace students arrested for some unique drug-related crimes last month. 

According to Cuyahoga County's online docket, the many charges for Lauren Pajerski include theft, burglary and possession of chemicals with the intent of manufacturing drugs.  

The Plain Dealer reports that Pajerski of Broadview Heights was involved in a complicated scheme that involved breaking into a campus laboratory. The students are accused of setting up labs to create Ecstasy and other drugs.
