CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Eleven Clemson University students are among 19 people arrested in a drug sweep.

Deputies from Pickens and Oconee counties said Thursday that a total of 66 warrants were served on charges including selling marijuana and selling a controlled substance.

Authorities say they also seized more than $6,000 in cash, nearly 300 grams of marijuana and several guns. They also confiscated a machine used to make false identification cards and other electronic equipment.

Deputies say they had been working on the case with agencies including the State Law Enforcement Division for six months.
