Wannabe drug hustlers brought down

Friday evening, 17 members of a Mexico-to-Ohio meth and heroin ring were indicted with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute heroin and/or meth in the Buckeye State.

The crew had been conspiring a plan to transport drugs from Mexico to Southern Ohio since at least December 2015. Either these guys weren’t efficient planners or this was going to one helluva drug run. No matter, they were taken off the streets before they had time to execute their plan. However, by just intending to posses and distribute drugs of this nature is punishable by up to life in prison.

Below is a list of the defendants; 14 being Mexican citizens and three being U.S. citizens:

Guillermo Polanco-Contreras
The individual known as “Chacorta”
Hiram Hernandez-Sarabia
Enrique Carrilo-Garcia
Karla Aguayo-Camarena
Hugo Carrilo
Miguel Guardado-Hernandez
Carlos Justo-Landa
Erick Pablo-Reyes
Hailey Johnson
Crescencio Hernandez
Jose Hernandez
Alvaro Hernandez, a.k.a. “Alvaro Dejesus-Hernandez”
Rene Casillas-Mojica
Noe Zepeda-Yerena
Ignacio Ortega-Meza
Jose Del Real-Ortega

Ten of the above listed individuals have been arrested and remain in custody while police are still working to extract the four remaining Mexican defendants.

Last year, The Washington Post reported that Ohio is seeing a drug epidemic so immense that morgues are resorting to cold-storage trailers for corpse overflow.
