Two Columbus Residents Plead Guilty In Multi-State Drug Ring

dea.gov

Sentencing is pending for two Columbus residents who are among four people who have pleaded guilty to charges of operating a drug ring. Federal prosecutors say 28-year-olds Rashod Todd and Joquline Harris sold and distributed Oxycodone in Las Vegas, Nevada and Columbus from 2012 to late 2015. Prosecutors say the suspects also pleaded guilty to charges of laundering the proceeds of their drug sales by depositing money into the bank accounts of other individuals, which funded the purchase of airline tickets that enabled couriers to transport the drugs to Columbus.
