He's be just as culpable in a situation where the police arrived - he could go to jail for the roommate's drugs, even if they were all in his roommate's room. Sounds like the cowardly lion might've gotten a good lesson in life, but not much more.

It's also a shitty RA if he didn't notice what was going on under his own nose. Common sense says lots of strange people showing up at all hours = drug dealer. It came up in my RA training; I'm surprised this RA took the whole year to figure out what the fuck was going on. When I was an RA, I and a fellow staff member were responsible for one of the largest drug busts in the dorms at my university; the guy was smoking out of a bong on the fire escape landing and ran when we appeared while we were doing rounds. This was only a couple months into the school year, and my duty partner that night (who was his RA) had been watching him closely for a couple weeks and documenting the activity near his door before calling the state police. Seeing the bong allowed us to skip that bit and call the state police in immediately. You think the RA would've just manned up and called the cops long before this, saving roommate the pain of being a snitch.
