26 cocaine, heroin indictments handed down in PennsylvaniaLEWISTOWN, Pennsylvania - A federal grand jury in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania has returned indictments charging 26 people from Mifflin County, Pennsylvania and New York City with operating a drug ring in Lewistown, Yeagertown and New York City.
United States Attorney Thomas A. Marino and Mifflin County District Attorney Stephen Snook announced that as a result of two federal indictments returned within the past two weeks, federal, state and local law enforcement agents have crippled a drug operation that has distributed substantial quantities of crack cocaine, powder cocaine and heroin in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania over the past year.
Marino said most of the individuals have been located and arrested.
Morino and Snook could not make any promises that other dealers wouldn't come to take their place. But pointed out that there are two sides to the drug problem - supply and demand.
Snook said, "I am not naive enough to think that just because you arrest some people, other people won't come here and sell. I have always said, if there is a demand for it some one will jump up.
"We treat it from both sides. We treat the supply side and the demand side. Today we are talking about the supply side. We hope we have been able to put a significant dent in the supply side that is going on."
What Snook and Marino were stressing at the news conference was that it was the cooperation of all the different agencies on the federal, Pennsylvania state and local levels, as well as the local citizens of Mifflin County, Pennsylvania that brought this drug ring down.
Snook said, "It was the work of many people involved. But I have to tell you, it starts locally. It starts with the citizen who gets on the phone and says, 'Hey! There are people going in and out of this house all the time.'
"The little old lady that writes down the license numbers and has the nerve to call us up and give us her name and give us the license numbers. This is grass roots investigation and we have done it before and we will continue to do it."
Snook likened Lewistown to California during the gold rush days, saying that dealers come here and then phone home and talk about how great it is here, and how they can make east money.
"Once these guys come here from New York City and finds he can sell crack, and he finds a local resident that he can live with, usually a young woman, and then he sets up a base of operation. He will then call back to his friends or relatives in New York and say, just like the pioneers said in California, 'It's a gold rush.'
"Well, the message I have for these folks is: "If your business is drugs, you have no business here."
Snook said they wanted the federal law enforcement involved because of interstate trafficking.
"The potential penalties are very significant," Snook said. "There are individuals involved in this that I suggest they need that kind of treatment."
Morino stressed the importance of agency cooperation in the fight against drugs. He said, "This is the quintessential example of law enforcement agencies coming together and getting a couple dozen of direct dealers off the street ... bringing the dealers to their knees. We are going to put these dealers away for a long time and take their assets.
"We are hitting them in the pocketbook where it counts. We are taking cars, houses, jewelry and cash and we funnel that money down to the local and state level."
Assets taken from the dealers help fund drug investigations, such as this one in Mifflin County. "I have been handing checks out to the tune of $50,000," Morino said.
Morino then introduced Richard Ford, supervisor in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration, who spoke of the legwork done by the Mifflin County Regional Police Department, the Mifflin County Drug Task Force and the Pennsylvania State Police.
"They put a lot of the pieces of the puzzle together with this thing. They put it together to make a big picture," Ford said, continuing by giving details of the defendants and the quantity of drugs that these people distributed.
"We indicted 21 individuals and added five more to the indictment for a total of 26.
Ford said it was shocking to find this level of violence and drug activity in Lewistown.
"This operation was put together in a short period of time. Along with the arrests, law enforcement officials seized three handguns, shotguns and a rifle used in retaliation with another group," he said.
The news release also indicates that those involved in the joint investigation are also looking into the alleged involvement of several of those indicted in numerous shootings that have occurred in Lewistown this past summer.
Ford confirmed that his agency became involved in the investigation this summer, when the suspected turf wars were going on plus the Chestnut Street shooting and other reports of shots fired in Lewistown.
He also said that there was a possible connection with gang activity by the "Bloods" out of New York City and that some of the dealers are gang wanna bes.
He told the crowd of newspaper, radio and TV reporters that these suspects were responsible for bringing in four kilograms of cocaine and one-quarter kilogram of heroin in monthly into the area to sell.
He said, "There are 1,000 grams in a kilo, so 4,000 grams of powder cocaine came in monthly and they converted to it to crack cocaine here. It is up to the people in this area to recognize the problem and respond when you see indicators. Give the authorities a starting point. The most significant help comes from the populous."
During the question-and-answer period of the news conference, Snook said that these particular dealers were not near schools and were not targeting students. He said they were targeting young people but not school children.
Speaking about the houses out of which the dealers sold drugs, Snook said, "There were several houses and they move frequently. These are very violent, abusive individuals. They are living in houses where usually a landlord is looking the other way or is an absentee landlord."
Snook said, "I am just so proud to stand here with these folks because they know how to do it and this is the way intergovernmental cooperation should work. I think if lots of other agencies worked together so well at different state, local and federal levels we would all be in good shape."
The following agencies participated in this investigation: Drug Enforcement Administration, United States Marshals Service, Pennsylvania State Police, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania Drug Task Force, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania Regional Police Department and Mifflin County, Pennsylvania District Attorney's Office.
The prosecution of these individuals has been assigned to Assistant United States Attorney William A. Behe of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force in Harrisburg.
Snook encouraged residents of Mifflin County to continue to use the the drug force task tip line - 248-4803.
He asked that if you call, leave your name so police can follow up on the tip.
He thanked the people who have called in the past and stressed, "Everything will be kept strictly confidential. We are willing work with you on this."
