Hanover Police arrested Kyle Waters '07 on Class B felony charges for violation of New Hampshire state drug laws on June 7.
"[The case] involves the attempted receipt of chemical compounds that we're alleging could be used to create a controlled substance," Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone said.
Waters' name appeared on a preliminary graduation list, compiled by Upper Class Dean Bethanne Tillotson on June 5 but was removed from the final list dated 6:35 p.m. on June 7.
Police had executed the arrest warrant on Waters at 3:02 p.m.
He was released on bail of $20,000 after signing an extradition waiver -- a document which relinquishes one's right to protest extradition. Extradition is the formal process of delivering an individual apprehended in one jurisdiction to authorities in another jurisdiction in which that individual has been accused or convicted of a crime.
Because Waters' case is pending and still under investigation, the details of the arrest warrant are currently under seal. Waters has an arraignment date set for July 17 at the Lebanon District Court.
Dartmouth Director of Media Relations Roland Adams said that the College could not comment on the matter "because of federal law regarding, and our own respect for, the privacy rights of individuals."
Waters, 22, came to Dartmouth from Millersville, Md. after attending the Gilman School in Baltimore. He is a member of Alpha Delta fraternity and played on the College's men's Varsity Lacrosse team as a midfielder during his freshman and sophomore years.
Waters declined an interview with The Dartmouth.
