Local drug arrests led to bust of national cocaine ring, police say » Ventura County Star: "Hundreds of kilos of cocaine. Cash-filled suitcases. Cross-country deliveries in private planes. Celebrity connections. Flashy cars.
These were elements of an alleged drug trafficking ring discovered during a seven-month investigation that began with low-level drug arrests in eastern Ventura County, authorities said Wednesday.
A federal grand jury Tuesday indicted 14 people in connection with the alleged smuggling ring, including the head of an entertainment company, celebrity disc jockey Darrin Ebron and a Chatsworth man suspected of supplying large amounts of cocaine to the organization, authorities said. Five of the suspects had been arrested and the rest remained at large Wednesday.
The ring is suspected of moving cocaine from Los Angeles to Baltimore, but it was uncovered and pursued by Ventura County investigators, authorities said."
