Dozens charged for Tohono O'odham Nation drug trafficking
Posted: Friday, May 20, 2011
Federal authorities have indicted 46 people in connection with a drug smuggling ring on the Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona.
Authorities say Mexican drug cartels used the reservation to bring drugs into the United States.
The Drug Enforcement Administration seized 10,000 pounds of marijuana from the smugglers and can prove they moved at least 28,000 more pounds, a spokesperson said.
Of the 46 who were indicted, 13 are members of the tribe.
