An alleged ringleader of the cocaine trafficking ring at Penn State has been granted bail.

A judge granted Agostino Abbatiello a $250,000 bail under certain conditions, including handing over his passport and adding that he has to return to his parents.

Abbatiello was among five current and former Penn State students accused of running the ring who were in court Wednesday.

According to one detective, all who testified said Abbatiello was the primary source of cocaine for everyone.

More than a dozen people in total are charged in his cocaine ring.
