A federal grand jury in Huntington returned an indictment Thursday against 12 people in an alleged drug ring with various charges related to the conspiracy to sell more than 100 grams of heroin and other drugs.
Atari Seantay "D" Brown; Corey Bruce "White Boy" Toney; Parker Wyatt Mays; Sean Lee "Beezy" Braggs; Arthur James "Art" Canada; Matthew Michael Meadow; Lukas Lightning Benton; Samuel R. Nelson III; Tanisha Lynette Wooding; Deandra Sheen Jones; Roy Bills; and Ladaesha Jackson, allegedly conspired to distribute heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana and alprazolam (which is sold under the name Xanax) in Cabell County and other parts of Southern West Virginia, according to the indictment.
The allegations in the 25-page indictment against the 12 defendants stretch from 2014 through last month. The hometowns of the defendants were not immediately available.
About $181,490 was seized by the Ohio Highway Patrol on April 18, the indictment states. The defendants must forfeit that money, according to the charging document.
