JOHNSON CITY — Students at an East Tennessee State University apartment building were evacuated early Sunday morning after a drug investigation led to the discovery of propane canisters, fertilizers and other powders and liquids in a student’s apartment, which prompted a search that turned up a non-active pressure cooker in that student’s car.
Four students have been charged with various marijuana-related drug offenses resulting from the original investigation. Federal and local authorities determined there was no threat from explosives, according to a statement from the university.
No one was hurt and students were allowed back in their apartments after the search.
