'Roofie' Drink Drugging Incident Probed After Yale Party: Report

NEW HAVEN, CT — A reported incident alleging drink tampering at a Yale University on-campus party on Friday night is being investigated by campus police, writes the Yale Daily News.

Two female students were treated at Yale New Haven Hospital Friday after drinking beverages at the party held in a suite in Durfee Hall, and one of the students reportedly tested positive for the tranquilizer drug Rohypnol, commonly known as "roofie."

The host, who was not identified in the publication, believes the drug may have been slipped into a pitcher of a drink mixer.

Several other students who attended the party, including the host, reported experiencing symptoms associated with being drugged, such as nausea and the inability to remember the events of the evening. Roughly 30 students attended the party, and those interviewed by the publication expressed anger and disappointment at the incident.
