OMG! - http://news.yahoo.com/video/alleged-high-school-drug-kingpin-080000889.html
Ohio police have arrested an alleged drug kingpin, a 17-year-old accused of running a multimillion dollar ring that distributed high-grade marijuana through two school districts and netted $20,000 a month.
When cops raided the boy's bedroom at his parents' home, they found over $6,000 in cash, prosecutors said.
Authorities have not released the student's name, because he was a 16-year-old minor at the time he committed the alleged drug deals. Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell said the boy will be tried as juvenile.
Cops first became aware of a high-grade hydroponic strain of marijuana being sold for $350-$400 an ounce in the Mason school district near Cincinnati last year. An undercover agent began making buys at Mason High School, where the teenager was a student, and uncovered a dealing operation headed by the arrested student.
"The undercover officer uncovered six students or former students working for that individual and trafficking drugs in two school districts," Fornshell told ABC News.
"The group supplied an overwhelming amount of marijuana in the Mason and King school districts," Fornshell said.
The marijuana previously sold in the areas was a lower-grade variety smuggled into the U.S. through the border, but the weed they began seeing last year was a much more expensive product.
The student helped lead cops to uncover a major grow operation, run by locals out of warehouses and other buildings in three nearby towns.
Six other adult individuals were ultimately arrested for their role in growing and distributing the drug.
Authorities seized 600 plants from the three grow houses, with an estimated street value of $3 million.
All of the individuals have been indicted by a grand jury, but have yet to be arraigned or enter pleas.

More resources wasted on harmless plant violations.... I'm so sick of hearing about this shit... This kids life will be ruined, the people's lives who grew PLANTS will be ruined... And it will all be paid for by you and me while the next drug dealer takes this kids spot anyways... What a waste of money, life, and time the drug war is... Especially when it comes to marijuana.

@seanwoody716 don't be too sure..he's a minor and his record will be sealed. Let's just hope he stashed some of the money where the law won't find it and uses it for college.

@Punch_The_Monkey Possibly... But doesn't it take some time for the records to be sealed?.. So I think that having this charge right near the end of high school might not be good for college acceptance... I could be wrong tho

@LickMyDuck 3,000,000 street value for 600 plants? 5000 per plant? Is it solid bud? do they figure it by weight, and if they do, do they include the weight of the table, the potting soil, and the flower pot?

@Norml Yeah... Smoke less crack. Really. If you were sober you'd be embarrassed. Unless you're just naturally stupid.

@deathOfHeavyD You happen to be correct, but it depends on the circumstances. In highschool, I met both people I was happy were making good money from an early age (surprise of surprises, they've gone on to be educated professionals who care about the people around them), and disturbed to find corrupt psychopaths making thousands to fund their own luxurious fucking downfall.

Not the best place to sell, but where did you smoked your first spliff or at least got your first weed from?

@Blix
From someone connected to an asshole who was targeting a high school with his drug sales, as it happens. Although it was not directly in that context at the time.
