Authorities: Ring Members Sold Columbus Drugs In Circleville

Circleville Police

State and local officials say dozens of people have been indicted for their roles in a large-scale drug ring in Circleville. 17 people have been indicted on drug-trafficking charges, and 54 more are charged with possession. The group allegedly transported heroin and cocaine from Columbus for distribution in Circleville from August 2010 to December 2014. Investigators say group supervisors made 40 thousand dollars a month selling drugs.
