WDBJ, the CBS affiliate in Roanoke, Va., broke a story this morning reporting that several Amherst County High School students had been arrested on marijuana distribution and other drug charges. Among those arrested was star quarterback Peter Rose, who in February signed a letter of intent to play football at Virginia Tech in the fall.

According to an official press release issued by the Amherst County Sheriff’s office, Peter O’Brian Rose, 18, was arrested on two charges of distribution of marijuana and two charges of distribution of drugs within 1,000 feet of a school.

Virginia Tech head football coach Frank Beamer, nor the Athletics Department, has commented on Rose’s status with the team.

The arrests came as part of an undercover investigation in which an Amherst County Sheriff’s Deputy was enrolled at the high school for the last 10 months. Stay tuned to VTHokieFans.com for the latest news surrounding this situation.
