Darin Morrow, assistant director of student activities and leadership programs at UM, was arrested on charges of drug possession this week.
He had been an employee of UM since July.
“Darin was placed on mandatory unpaid leave following his arrest,” said Renee Dickens Callan, director of student activities and leadership programs. “Everything is being done according to University guidelines and protocol.”
Morrow worked closely with SAFAC [Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee], COSO [Committee on Student Organizations] and late-night programming.
According to Miami Beach Police, Morrow’s Meridian Avenue apartment was searched after they received an anonymous tip that led them to his residence.
According to the official police report, 30 ecstasy pills, a small amount of marijuana and two pipes were found in Morrow’s apartment.
UM administration could not be reached for comment on the issue.
According to The Miami Herald, Morrow’s lawyer, Leila Presner, says that her client is innocent and that the drugs did not belong to Morrow.
“There were four others in his apartment, but nobody else was arrested,” Presner was quoted as saying in the Herald.
