An Arkansas Baptist College student was arrested Wednesday on accusations of running a drug operation out of his dorm room, a report said.

A college staff member got an anonymous tip that Jordan Oliver, 18, had drugs in his dorm room, according to the report.

Staff members searching the room found scales; a jar of a green, leafy substance; and a black, semi-automatic handgun in his bed, the report said.
