Tennessee Brothers Internet Drug Scheme (simulado 2021)
Tennessee brothers convicted in internet drug scheme
MOBILE Ala. (AP) – A federal judge convicted two Tennessee brothers who sold an industrial solvent with other ingredients over the Internet as muscle enhancers or sexual stimulants, taking in more than $800,000 from 1,300 customers in about a year.
Orders from 47 states and Puerto Rico came into the basement operation run by brothers Kevin Layne Brown and Ronald Keith Brown in Sparta, Tenn.
They were indicted in September in the Southern District of Alabama where the drugs showed up in Mobile nightclubs. U.S. District Judge Charles Butler Jr. convicted the brothers of violating controlled substance laws Tuesday following a three-day, non-jury trial that ended June 2. The trial is believed to be the first associated with Operation Webslinger, a nationwide sting last fall targeting Internet sales of a chemical known as BD and related drugs.
