A UF student was arrested Wednesday during a class in Williamson Hall 100.

David James Borah, 20, a third-year student at UF, was arrested during an Introduction to Oceanography class at 11:25 a.m.

Borah, 3301 SW 13 St. Apt. P242, was arrested without notification on two active Alachua County warrants, according to an Alachua County police report.

The first warrant was issued on Sept. 4, with a total bond of ,50,000 for the charges of cocaine selling and possession, which are second and third degree felonies, according to the report.

The second warrant was issued on Sept. 19, with a total bond of ,35,000 for the same offenses, according to the report. The total bond is ,85,000.

About 100 students witnessed the arrest made by four Alachua County sheriff officers.

Borah, who was taken to the Alachua County Jail after being escorted from the classroom, was identified by a law enforcement officer and was later verified by his photo identification.

"He's being held in jail until further notice," said Lori Fuller, clerical technician at the Alachua County Jail.

His sentences have not yet been determined, according to the report.
