Charges are expected to be filed next week in the case of seven Fort Hays State University students arrested Wednesday for their alleged connection to the distribution of illegal drugs and prescription pills.

Ellis County Attorney Tom Drees said six of the seven have had their bond hearings and were released on bond.

According to Drees:

• Tyler Asamora, 18, Colorado, was arrested on suspicion of distribution of small quantities of marijuana.

• Taylor Scott, 19, Colorado, was arrested on suspicion of distribution of distribution of cocaine, marijuana and LSD.

• Tanner Fahey, 19, Colorado, was arrested on suspicion of distribution of Adderall and Ritalin.

• Jacob Herrel, 19, Kansas, was arrested on suspicion of distribution of Ritalin & small quantities of marijuana.

• Robert Nintze, 19, Colorado, was arrested on suspicion of 3 counts of distribution of marijuana.

• Eduardo Moreno, 19, Kansas, was arrested on suspicion of 3 counts of distribution of marijuana.

The seventh individual has not appeared before a judge for a bond hearing, Drees said.

Suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
