Mikey is arrested for the first time during Hell Week, when he and the other KA pledges kidnap an older KA member. This is a ritual where pledges get to “punish whichever older kid had hazed them the worst that semester” (60). Mikey and the other pledges are pulled over with the older boy blindfolded and tied up in the car. Their victim does not press charges, but Mikey is arrested for reckless driving without a license. When police repeatedly ask him about marijuana, he wonders if 7 Montagu is being surveilled. Rob moves his stash of weed to another house. Mikey stops selling fake IDs because the legal consequences can be harsh. He pivots to dealing more weed, which he has been doing since he was 15. He and Rob set up a successful operation, as most C of C students smoke weed.
As a KA, Mikey enjoys access to sorority parties, bars on King Street, girls, drugs, and alcohol, as though he were in a Hollywood movie. The KA boys love The Wolf of Wall Street, which they do not see as satire; they call themselves the “Wolves of King Street” (67). Mikey and Rob’s weed business grows. SAE members Ben Nauss and Russell Sliker—two of the young men later arrested in the drug bust—also deal weed and have a bigger share of the market.
