When I was 16 I had a paper route -.-;
Anybody know how somebody this age could actually network something like this and actually pull it off for how long he did? It sounds like a logisitical nightmare!
Ohio police have arrested an alleged drug kingpin, a 17-year-old accused of running a multimillion dollar ring that distributed high-grade marijuana through two school districts and netted $20,000 a month.
When cops raided the boy's bedroom at his parents' home, they found over $6,000 in cash, prosecutors said.
Authorities have not released the student's name, because he was a 16-year-old minor at the time he committed the alleged drug deals. Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell said the boy will be tried as juvenile.
Cops first became aware of a high-grade hydroponic strain of marijuana being sold for $350-$400 an ounce in the Mason school district near Cincinnati last year. An undercover agent began making buys at Mason High School, where the teenager was a student, and uncovered a dealing operation headed by the arrested student.
"The undercover officer uncovered six students or former students working for that individual and trafficking drugs in two school districts," Fornshell told ABC News.
"The group supplied an overwhelming amount of marijuana in the Mason and King school districts," Fornshell said.
The marijuana previously sold in the areas was a lower-grade variety smuggled into the U.S. through the border, but the weed they began seeing last year was a much more expensive product.
The student helped lead cops to uncover a major grow operation, run by locals out of warehouses and other buildings in three nearby towns.
Six other adult individuals were ultimately arrested for their role in growing and distributing the drug.
Authorities seized 600 plants from the three grow houses, with an estimated street value of $3 million.
All of the individuals have been indicted by a grand jury, but have yet to be arraigned or enter pleas.

| Using child operatives in the school system, which are no doubt DARE-brain-washed, in order to further the war against marijuana.... Fucking rofls. It's still hilarious to me how marijuana is still illegal. So fucking stupid. |

I realise that this is really serious and simply the fact that someone that young could get the conncetions and know-how to pull off something on this scale is a sad reflection on society. But all that aside, my first reaction on reading this was laughing and thinking to myself "What a badass".
Crazy how he was able to do this without his parents knowing. Can you really run a drug ring and go to school at the same time? It seems like it would be a full-time kind of job... But then again, perhaps he kept his kingpining for after school? |

| Shit. So many lives ruined over growing a plant. I guess the war on drugs is working! They managed to take down $3 million worth of the stuff out of a multi-billion dollar industry! /end sarcasm. |

| dayum... I can't even imagine how he could've possibly put together that big of a network in high school though. Seriously never ending loose ends. |

Yeah, I'm not so sure about this.
The article does say he was the 'kingpin' but that doesn't necessarily mean leader/creator. I bet the 6 other guys that were growing the stuff got it started, and the kid just got a lucky break with one of his dealers and became a dealer himself.
I think they use kingpin to mean 'super important figure,' as in: if they take him out, the whole operation fails. If the growers don't have anyone that can get the stuff out there, quick, for a good price, they are in trouble. So they use the kid in high school to do the dealing, which puts him in the most important position, and the most vulnerable one. |

I agree that marijuana should be legal however this kid has every right to get in trouble. He was distributing marijuana to kids in schools. Its just as bad as if this guy were a moonshine kingpin and was distributing large amounts of alcohol to other students. |
