Celebrity DJ among 14 indicted in cocaine ring

Celebrity DJ among 14 indicted in cocaine ring

Published November 16, 2010

LOS ANGELES – A celebrity disc jockey and the heads of an entertainment company were among 14 people indicted in a cocaine ring where private jets were used to shuttle large amounts of the drug from Southern California to Baltimore, authorities said.

Authorities said Tuesday that the ring smuggled hundreds of pounds of cocaine via private jets between May and November. They seized nearly 300 kilograms of cocaine and $1.1 million.

Among those facing drug trafficking and money laundering charges is Darrin Ebron, 43, who runs Goodlife American Clothing and was the DJ at Eddie Murphy's 2008 nuptials in Bora Bora. Also indicted were Ricky Brascom, 28, and Charles Ransom Jr., 36, both of Los Angeles and who are co-chief executive officers of Behind da Scenes Entertainment, whose main artist is rapper Paypa.

Ebron and three others were being sought by investigators, while Brascom and his older brother were among those arrested this month. Brascom and the others are scheduled to be arraigned Monday.

If convicted, each of the defendants could face up to life in prison.

Investigators used wiretaps to track the shipments that didn't slow down despite the discovery of nearly 50 kilograms of cocaine aboard a plane during a refueling stop in September.

"It's amazing what greed will do to you," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Rob Villeza. "They knew something was going on, but the next day they were doing it again. They were not prepared to stop."

Brascom was the ring's leader, while Ransom shipped cocaine to his own distributors in Baltimore, authorities said.

One of the people suspected of farming out the cocaine in Baltimore was Ebron, who says on his website that his clientele included Usher, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Kanye West.

Dana Sarabeck, a former spokeswoman for Ebron's clothing line, declined to comment. The phone number to Goodlife's office was disconnected, and a message left for Brascom's attorney, William Pitman, was not immediately returned.

Villeza said chartered flights, which can cost between $20,000 and $50,000, are useful to drug runners because the planes aren't subject to inspection.

Pittsburgh-Area Multi-County Special K Ring Busted

Authorities have broken up a ring that specialized in burglarizing veterinary offices and stealing Ketamine, a cat tranquilizer often abused by humans as a party drug.

Indicted this morning by a state grand jury were:

• Brandon Wise, no age available, of 810 Blue Ridge Road, Plum, the alleged ringleader, accused of nine burglaries and of selling Ketamine.

• Danielle Markham, 20, 116, of Crescent Pines Drive, Penn Hills

• Donald Graham, 20, of 106 Richmore Drive, Penn Hills.

• Jordan Smith, 19, of 323 Lougeay Road, Penn Hills.

• Angelo Valenti, 23, 7716 Aspen Drive, Plum.

• Frank Skerlak, 19, of 488 Vance Station Road, Washington, Washington County

All were expected to be arraigned before Plum District Justice Linda Zucco early this afternoon.

According to the grand jury presentment, Wise and the others broke into veterinary clinics in Allegheny, Westmoreland and Armstrong counties in order to steal money and Ketamine.

Wise allegedly cooked Ketamine by pouring the liquid form on to plates and microwaving the narcotic until it cooked into a crystal substance. He then allegedly would scrape the crystals into a powder and package it for resale.

The Ketamine, commonly known as Special K, was then sold by Wise at rave parties in the Pittsburgh area.

Five men arrested in largest ketamine bust in Canadian history

Five people have been arrested after Canadian authorities made a record seizure of an illicit drug smuggled in a shipment of coffee mugs at the Port of Vancouver.

Mounds of bags containing the drug ketamine — part of over 1,000 kilograms seized last month — were on display at a joint news conference by the RCMP federal drug squad and the Canada Border Service Agency at RCMP headquarters Wednesday morning.

In total, almost 1,004 kilograms, which makes up about 1 million doses, were seized — the largest seizure of the drug in Canadian history.

The seizure represents more than $15-million in profits of drug dealers, said officials.

Feds: Alleged Ecstasy Smuggler Hid Her Stash In Octomomesque Protuberance

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster...ggler-hid-her-stash-octomomesque-protuberance

A Georgia woman is facing a federal drug rap for allegedly trying to smuggle a large stash of Ecstasy into the country over a bridge connecting Canada to Buffalo.

Leeann Corley, 25, was aboard a Greyhound bus last Thursday night when border agents became suspicious of her claim that she was eight months pregnant and was returning to the U.S. after visiting a sick aunt.

During a pat down search, investigators discovered that Corley was “wearing a body suit with a modified stomach area,” according to a U.S. District Court complaint. As seen in the above evidence photo (click to enlarge), that “modified stomach area” contained “33 zip lock bags containing colored pills.”

The seized narcotics weighed 21.63 pounds, and border agents extrapolated that the bags contained a total of 34,230 Ecstasy pills.

While Corley was not photographed in her “pregnant” state, her purported protuberance would likely have been Octomomesque.
