Suspect In Local Heroin Ring Sentenced

One of the five suspects in a large heroin trafficking ring in Franklin County has been sentenced to four years in prison. Prosecutors say 27-year-old Omar Sanchez was a customer and did not have a direct role in the operation that sold nearly 15 thousand grams of heroin. The other suspects have already been sentenced to prison time. Prosecutors say the five are undocumented immigrants who will be deported after completing their sentences.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
