Federal prosecutors in Pittsburgh have unsealed an indictment charging 22 people who allegedly conspired for 10 years to fly cocaine from California to Pittsburgh, bypassing airport security measures in the process.
The indictment was returned in June but revealed only Wednesday. It charges 16 people from California, four from Pennsylvania, and one each from Maryland and Ohio.
Prosecutors say Timothy White, 40, of Tracy, Calif. was a primary source of the cocaine. Another man, Ruben Mitchell, 42, of Stockton, Calif. lost track of more than 41 pounds of cocaine in a misdirected piece of luggage during a Pittsburgh-bound Southwest Airlines flight last year.
White and Mitchell remain in custody and 15 others have been arrested, though some are free on bond. Five others remain at large.
