Authorities in New Hampshire have raided the Dartmouth College fraternity house that inspired the 1978 movie "National Lampoon's Animal House." Court documents regarding the investigation are sealed and authorities would only confirm that the Alpha Delta house raid was part of a two-year investigation:
Police removed 10 crates and two bags of evidence, along with two sledge hammers, a videotape and a computer, according to the Valley News of Lebanon, New Hampshire.
George Ostler, lawyer for the fraternity members, declined to comment except to call the search a "major interruption."
Police Chief Nick Giaccone wouldn't comment on the investigation except to say that drugs are not the focus and that more arrests are expected. A 19-year-old student was arrested at the house on a drug charge, but police said it wasn't related to the investigation.
William Walker, vice president for public affairs at Dartmouth, said in a statement that the school was cooperating with the investigation.
"National Lampoon's Animal House," starring John Belushi, portrayed college fraternity debauchery.
One of the writers, Chris Miller, was a 1964 Dartmouth graduate and a member of Alpha Delta.
