Reports of ‘roofies’ in Missoula 5 times higher than normal

On Feb. 9, University of Montana students received an alert email warning about increased reports of drug-facilitated assaults at Missoula bars, more commonly known as "roofies." So far this semester, the Student Advocacy Resource Center has received 10 reports of roofies assaults — five times the amount they normally receive, raising concerns about student safety and awareness.

On this episode, Kaimin news reporter Christine Compton goes behind the data and shares one student's harrowing story of her own drugging at a Missoula bar.
