Feds Bust Up Washington Drug Trafficking Ring

Today federal law enforcement agents announced that after a 14-month investigation they have dismantled a large Seattle drug trafficking ring, one that's been dispensing methamphetamine and cocaine into the state from Jalisco, Mexico.

And here we were worried about Mexican-borne swine flu.

Under the code name Operation Arctic Chill, federal agents grabbed their 35 warrants and went to town on drug raids. In total 31 people were arrested, and 19 pounds of methamphetamine, a quarter-pound of cocaine, 22 vehicles, 23 guns, and $600,000 cash were seized.
