Italians Don’t Go Quietly Professor Marcello Arsura, a pharmacologist at the University of Tennessee, used his skills for good (cancer research) and ill (meth). Here he is smiling, pre-drug raid. And here he is “kicking and screaming” in the police car because “he didn’t want his picture taken.” The ladies on his block ganged up on him: B.J. Summers has complained about her neighbor for months. "We all got together all the ladies in this neighborhood. He didn't know who he was dealing with when he had all these women on him," says Summer. "We had pictures of him on the internet and we knew where he worked, everything." Another article lists what the police found: “19 grams of meth wrapped in individual bags prepared for distribution, 72 ecstasy pills, 49 Loritab pills, 4.3 grams of cocaine and scales used to weigh the drugs.” Plus Arsura hurt a policeman when he resisted arrest, and the policeman requires surgery. When will UT Memphis make his departmental web page disappear? Faithful readers know that UD’s intrigued by the various university policies about when and how to make disgraced faculty members vanish. |
