HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After the state declined prosecution for two men attending Hutchinson Community College back on April 19 on drug charges, they have now filed charges against one of them.

Twenty-one-year-old Jalen Cooks was before a judge this morning where he was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, conspiracy to sell marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana and personal use drug paraphernalia.

He was arrested with 19-year-old Raashid Jamal Arnold.

As we reported back in April, police were apparently told that Arnold was selling drugs out of his vehicle in one of the parking lots at the college. That led to a search of his dorm room where they allegedly found drugs and paraphernalia. They later located him and he gave consent to search his vehicle. They again found drugs, as well as a magazine to an assault rifle. He informed them that this belonged to a friend, Jalen Cooks. His car was parked directly next to Arnold’s and they allegedly found drugs, shotgun shells and the assault rifle in that vehicle.

Arnold is suspected of selling drugs from his vehicle in one of the parking lots at the college.

Cooks was charged in the case for allegedly being a part of a conspiracy. In court, he asked for a bond reduction so he could go back to school at Baker University. His request was denied.

It’s unknown if Arnold has been charged in the case, but we’ll continue to follow this story.
