AG: Drug ring used mail to send pot, cocaine

HARRISBURG, Pa. - February 24, 2014

Investigators say the ringleaders were Dean Graham and Graydon Graham, both of whom lived in California but were formerly from Franklin, Pa. in Venango County.

The pair allegedly sent marijuana and cocaine to one of the accused, David Reed, back in Franklin, Pa.

From there, investigators say, Reed enlisted the help of family and friends to distribute the drugs throughout Venango County.

According to the Attorney General Kathleen Kane, agents believed that at least one kilo of cocaine and hundreds of pounds of marijuana were sent from California back to Pennsylvania through the USPS.

"Drug trafficking organizations know no geographic boundaries; neither should law enforcement," Kane said in a news release issued by her office on Friday.
