Pa. man arrested at 'going away' party

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) - February 24, 2011

Scranton Police Chief Dan Duffy says 28-year-old Keith Cardone was arrested early Wednesday during the party he threw for himself at a Scranton bar.

The Times-Tribune of Scranton reports Cardone is awaiting sentencing for his role in a drug ring that distributed $2.7 million in marijuana and cocaine in the area.

Duffy says two officers spotted ads for Cardone's "Going Away Ba$h" then picked him up on a warrant stemming from another drug charge.

Cardone is being held on $5,000 bail. It was not clear if he had an attorney.
