An Augustana College professor and his wife were arrested on drug charges Wednesday, after Davenport police said they discovered marijuana being grown in the couple's basement.

Emil Kramer, 42, and Susan Kramer, 43, of 1124 W. 9th St., Davenport, were arrested after police responded to a residential burglary call.

Several pipes and glass bongs -- consistent with those used in smoking marijuana -- were found in the home, according to police. Tests on residue from one of the pipes were positive for marijuana.

The couple had seven marijuana plants in various stages of growth in their basement, police said. Their home is also within 1,000 feet of Jefferson Elementary School.

Mr. Kramer is an assistant professor of classics at Augustana and Mrs. Kramer is an administrative assistant in the education department, according to the college Web site.

Each was arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, drug possession and delivery of marijuana, and failure to make drug stamp tax payment. The marijuana plants were not affixed with the proper tax documentation, police said.

Mr. Kramer was free late Thursday on $19,500 bond, and Ms. Kramer was free on $19,825 bond, according to the Scott County Jail.

College spokesman Kirby Winn said Augustana officials had been informed of the arrests and "will monitor the status of the investigation as charges are brought."

The college does not have a set policy regarding charges for drug use -- or any crime for that matter -- that occurs off campus, Mr. Winn said.

"There is a point where the institution would intervene, but it's really too early with regard to this situation to tell what that would be," he said.

Augustana does prohibit the "unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substances" anywhere on college premises or property, or as part of any college-related activity, such as a trip, Mr. Winn said.

Any employee or student of the college found to have violated this rule will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal, according to Augustana's handbook.

Any employees must notify their supervisors and the business office of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation only occurring on college premises or as part of any college-related activities, the handbook says.
