In total, agents seized more than $310,000 in cash during the investigation, authorities say.

The Hancock-Brooke-Weirton Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative; the Drug Enforcement Administration (Wheeling and Youngstown); and the Ohio State Highway Patrol investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn M. Adkins prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.

The Marshall County Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative; the Ohio Valley Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative; and the Mahoning County, Ohio, Sheriff’s Office assisted in the case.
