Mexican drug cartels impacting Ohio drug trade
The Pike County killings are shedding light on the region’s drug trade.
Attorney General Mike DeWine has commented that the marijuana plants found at three crime scenes were intended for commercial distribution. Now, some are pointing the blame of the murders at the Mexican drug cartel.
“I usually don’t comment on other people’s investigations, but they have had cartel problems out there in the past. It’s very volatile. They knew what they were doing, they took care of business. It seemed like a professional hit to me,” said Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer.
Plummer says locally the cartels presence is menacing and the main source for Ohio’s heroin problem.
“We have three different cartels here that we know of for sure, all dealing with drug trafficking,” said Plummer.
