Preppy drug dealers on the Main Line

I got a kick out of these Haverford School grads doing their upscale alma mater proud! And of course they were serving the kind of high schools where parents relax, knowing they’re away from “bad influences.” I wonder what kind of sentences they will get. Just kidding, I already know!

LOWER MERION, Pa. – April 21, 2014 (WPVI) — Eight people have been arrested following an investigation into a drug ring that allegedly targeted local high schools and colleges.

The ringleaders were Haverford School graduates Neil Scott, 25, and Timothy Brooks, 18, District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said.

The two named their network “The Main Line Takeover Project,” investigators said.

“Their intention, as the name suggests, was the two of them would take over drug distribution – in particular, marijuana distribution – in schools and colleges on the Main Line,” Ferman said.

Ferman said Scott would receive bulk shipments from a California supplier which would be shipped to his Haverford apartment, which allegedly served as his base of operations. He also allegedly used his parents’ home in Paoli and Brooks’ home in Villanova.

Ferman said local students would be drafted into the drug distribution operation as sub-dealers to allegedly distribute cocaine, marijuana, hash oil and ecstasy.

[…] She said investigators found approximately eight pounds of marijuana, three pounds of hash oil, 23 grams of cocaine, 11 grams of ecstasy, $11,000 in cash, a loaded AR-15 assault rifle, a loaded 9mm pistol, and a loaded .22 AR-15 style rifle along with ammunition for all of those guns.

Officials say 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
-Gettysburg College
