Multi-state marijuana operation derailed
31 indicted; dealers used skate park, federal agents say
By JOHN DIEDRICH

Posted: Feb. 8, 2008
Federal agents have broken up a drug ring they say grew more than 2,000 pounds of high-grade marijuana in California and sold it in Milwaukee, Chicago and elsewhere, according to federal court documents unsealed Friday.
The operation moved at least 50 pounds of the potent weed a week from an indoor skateboard park in Butler, according to the records, and smuggled some of the drugs inside hockey equipment bags.
When agents busted the operations north of San Francisco, they found prescriptions for medicinal marijuana posted outside, a prosecutor said. California law allows people under a doctor's care to grow and use marijuana for medical reasons, but federal agents don't honor that law and in this case think it was bogus, he said.
Thirty-one people have been indicted, including 12 from Milwaukee. If convicted, they all face from a minimum of 10 years to life in prison. Agents executed at least 16 search warrants in five states in recent weeks, yielding cash, drugs and guns. Prosecutors are trying to seize homes, cars, jewelry, a plane, a boat and a Milwaukee man's $862,123 trust fund, according to documents.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Sanders said the case stands out because of the quality of the marijuana and the profit margin. The Milwaukee dealers were making at least $1,000 a pound and sometimes much more, Sanders said.
"The amounts of money they were making were just tremendous," he said. "This is not the typical Mexican ditch weed. This is high-grade, highly sought-after northern California hydro."
The sprawling case, investigated by the state Department of Justice, the FBI and others, started with a tip in Milwaukee in spring 2007 that focused on drug dealing by David LeBlanc, who along with several other defendants grew up in Shorewood, documents indicate.
LeBlanc, 29, was buying huge volumes of marijuana from Oskar Sheldon, 27, who grew up in the state of Washington and lived on a boat in Milwaukee last summer, it says. Sheldon was caught by police in Colorado with a large volume of cash in 2000 and again in 2004, likely proceeds from marijuana smuggled inside hockey bags from Canada into the U.S. aboard boats, on snowmobiles and in cars with secret compartments, authorities say. Documents don't indicate whether Sheldon was prosecuted.
LeBlanc and others from Milwaukee met Sheldon when they lived near Olympia, Wash., in the late 1990s, Sanders said. LeBlanc and the others returned to Milwaukee.
Besides selling to LeBlanc, Sheldon also supplied dealers in Chicago, documents say. Couriers, generally women, would bring the marijuana from the West Coast in rental cars, and money orders were mailed back, the search warrants say. LeBlanc and other dealers at one point kidnapped one of the investigators' informants, who owed them money, and threatened to kill him, according to the warrants. He was not hurt, and none of the charges alleges violence.
Investigators got court approval for a wiretap of LeBlanc in August and began monitoring his conversations, text messages and e-mails sent via his phone. They tapped Sheldon's phone a month later and secretly put a global positioning system tracker on his truck, the documents say.
Agents saw Sheldon, LeBlanc and others transporting what appeared to be as much as 50 pounds of marijuana at a time in hockey bags, they say. They also learned that the men had purchased a $60,000 John Deere tractor for farming the marijuana in California, according to the agents.
Authorities traced the drug sales to Cream City Skatepark in Butler, a warehouse with skateboard ramps, rails and other structures used for skating. Butler police reported in 2005 that 50 pounds a week were being sold from the business. At least one person was charged, but the documents say the drug dealing continued.
Agents watched through the fall, when the outdoor crop was harvested in California and brought into Milwaukee and Chicago. Then late last month, they swept down on the grow operations in California and raided several homes in Milwaukee, most in the Riverwest area.
Authorities were still looking for eight of the defendants as of Friday afternoon.
Besides LeBlanc, the local defendants in custody include Colleen A. McGarry, 25; Ryan C. Minahan, 29, Benjamin C. Janik, 27, Brian J. McGuinnis, 34, Jeremy Hoch, 29, Jonathan Rockafellow, Patrick Beaty, Samuel Sumner, 28, Emmanuel J. Merritt, 28, all of Milwaukee, and Thomas P. Baker, 33, of West Allis;

Another thing my buddy told me, is drug dealers are getting robbed for all their money by some gangsters in Waukegan...I mean, I guess they are shooting people and doing a lot of home invasions. He told me that last weekend.
So I guess a lot of people are laying low. The last bud I got was pretty good. It burnt weird and I was trying to explain to him that it was not cured properly but I couldnt tell him why exactly. Im still looking for a good article on it.
It burnt into a black mess and tasted like grass. It didnt have the usual sweet taste and it didnt ash completely.
. Not to mention it was hella dry.

I think I know EXACTLY what your talking about. I've been sitting on shit like that for a while now. It's not that the bud is like horrible... but it's just not the quality that I am used to...
It is rediculous that weed is illegal, all that does is create situation like the one your talkin about with people shooting other people and robbing them for their shit and their money. I've been robbed a FEW times by dealers, one I was going through for about a year before he robbed me.... i just dont understand why some dealers are just complete shady bastards!!! and I hate that word.
