WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - A Purdue student now faces multiple felony charges, after a police K-9 allegedly found pills and marijuana in his dorm room.

19-year-old Joseph Tucker's charges include dealing and possession of a schedule III controlled substance, possession of a narcotic drug and dealing in marijuana.

Court documents say police found marijuna and close to 100 pills in his dorm room, including Hydrocodone and Oxycodone. Police said Tucker admitted all the illegal material in the room belonged to him, and admitted to trading and selling the pills and marijuana since the fall semester.
