73-Year-Old Caught for Drug Trafficking

Oklahoma native Darlene Mayes was arrested on Monday, April 9 when police found four pounds of marijuana, two guns, and  $277,000 in cash stashed in her home. Apparently the 73-year-old has been the kingpin of an infamous drug ring  for at least 20 years. In that time, her drug-trafficking network reached a span of four states, including Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri and accounted for 40% of the pot sold in that area. When the cash was initially discovered, stored in bundles of $15,000, Mayes claimed the money was part of her retirement fund. Although drug-trafficking is not encouraged, the fact that she was able to keep her dealing up for 20 years is still pretty impressive.
