Pennsylvania authorities have successfully brought down a drug ring which they say was run by two prep school graduates. The ring, which supplied marijuana, cocaine, and ecstasy to students at three colleges and high schools in Philadelphia’s affluent Main Line suburbs, was lead by 25-year-old Neil Scott and 18-year-old Timothy Brooks, according to authorities.
The two men, who were arraigned Monday on drug charges and related counts, graduated from The Haverford School. The ring was so extensive that it offered benefits for those employed as “sub-dealers” if they met their weekly quota such as lower purchase prices for marijuana in order to increase their profit margin.
According to officials, the drug trafficking operation focused on distributing drugs to students at Lower Merion High School, The Haverford School, Harriton High School, Conestoga High School, Radnor High School, Haverford College, Lafayette College, and Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania.
In an earlier preliminary shakedown operation, prosecutors said they confiscated 8 lbs. of marijuana, 3 grams of hash oil, 23 grams of cocaine, 11 grams of Ecstasy, $11,000 in cash, a loaded handgun, an AR-15 assault rifle and AR-15 style rifle, most of which came from Scott’s apartment, according to authorities.
In addition to Scott and Brooks, seven alleged “sub-dealers” were also charged. Daniel McGrath, 18, a student at The Haverford School; John Rosemann, 20, a student at Lafayette College; Christian Euler, 23, a graduate of The Haverford School and student at Lafayette College; Garrett Johnson, 18, a student at Haverford College; Reid Cohen, 18, a Haverford College student; Willow Orr, 22; Domenic Curcio, 29.
So far, two juveniles have been petitioned by the DA’s office: a 17-year-old Radnor High School student and 17-year-old Lower Merion High School student.
Wonder if they’ll get off on the affluenza defense.
