A drug ring that moved more than 800 pounds of crystal methamphetamine from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, then spread the narcotic throughout the Mid-Atlantic, has been shut down, Montgomery County authorities said Tuesday.
Tyrone Baker, 29, of East Lansdowne; Shakeem Johnson, 27, of Philadelphia; Joshua Quiles, 31, of King of Prussia; Jhamir Winans, 21, of Exton; and Ricky Evans, 28, of Los Angeles, were charged with operating a corrupt organization, as well as more than 100 counts each of felony drug offenses, said Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele.
Using the mail, UPS, and other couriers, Evans sent 91 packages from Los Angeles to the Philadelphia area between October 2019 and December 2021, according to the filing.The ring was first identified last March, when an undercover police officer in Lower Merion bought two pounds of meth from a local drug dealer and learned of the larger organization, which had been supplying that dealer and others.
