OHIO - A 17-year-old high school student has been arrested in Ohio for allegedly running a multi-million-dollar drug ring.
Police said the boy distributed high-grade marijuana through two school districts which earned him $20,000 a month. The seized contraband had an estimated street value of around $3 million, media reports said.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that "a yearlong investigation culminated in the arrest of the teen and seven adults, as well as the seizure of more than 600 hydroponically grown marijuana plants with a street value of around $3 million," quoting the Warren County Drug Task Force. "The student, who was not named by the sheriff’s office, will face charges in juvenile court. The teen had $6,000 in cash in his bedroom closet when officers arrived with a search warrant, sheriff’s officials said."
The teen ringleader was said to have had six "lieutenants," and "they were distributing the drugs to other high school students," the Sun-Times quoted Drug Task Force Commander John Burke.
