A federal investigation into an alleged drug trafficking organization has resulted in charges against 16 people, including a Toledo man. The charges stem from a three-year investigation involving federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio.
Investigation Details
Prosecutors say the alleged operation was based in part at New Millinium Car Wash in Mansfield, where investigators claim drugs and proceeds from illegal sales were stored. A superseding indictment filed July 8 alleges members of the group worked together to distribute large quantities of narcotics, including cocaine, crack cocaine, and oxycodone.
Authorities said agents seized significant quantities of illegal narcotics during the investigation, including more than $61,832 in cash and several firearms that prosecutors allege were illegally possessed. A federal grand jury returned an 18-count indictment charging the defendants with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine, crack cocaine, and oxycodone.
