WASHINGTON (7News) — Fourteen people are facing charges after a drug ring was busted, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office.
The crack and cocaine drug distribution ring was operating near Hendley Elementary School in Southeast Washington, according to a news release.
“Today, my office took over a dozen drug traffickers off residential streets. These traffickers showed zero regard for the well-being of our community, even selling crack cocaine about 300 feet from an elementary school,” Pirro said in a statement. “This office will continue to pursue serious sentences for defendants who treat their neighbors as exploitable prey, and dismantle any group putting the lives in our community at risk.”
