MARION, Ohio (AP) — Federal authorities say 19 people have
been indicted in an alleged conspiracy to traffic large amounts of
heroin, crack cocaine and prescription pills in a north central Ohio
city.
The top federal prosecutor for northern Ohio on Wednesday
announced the unsealing of a 72-count indictment. Authorities say the
indictment details a two-year conspiracy in which drugs were brought to
Marion from Detroit and Fort Wayne, Ind., and sold to juveniles and
others.
U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach (DEHT’-ehl-bahk) says in a
release that the arrests represent a joint law-enforcement effort to
choke off the supply of drugs to the region.
The indictments
resulted from an investigation by law enforcement agencies that included
the FBI, Marion police, the Marion County sheriff’s office and the Ohio
attorney general among others.
