In this March 21, 2016 photo, Derek Oatis poses at his law office in Manchester, Conn. As teenagers in the 1980s, Oatis and his girlfriend were arrested for bringing about two pounds of cocaine from Venezuela to the U.S., where Oatis planned to sell it at Choate Rosemary Hall, an elite boarding school that he attended in Wallingford, Conn. Oatis and a dozen other students were expelled. Oatis was sentenced to a probation program and the charges were erased. A new movie, "The Preppie Connection," is based on Oatis' story.
