[IL] 19 Busted in Pizza Drug Ring

19 Busted in Pizza Drug Ring
May 6, 2011 - nbcchicago.com

Nineteen people have been charged in Lake County after a state's attorney investigation uncovered a drug ring at least partially operated out of two pizza parlors.

Brothers Elias, Jack and Kostatino “Gus” Papandreou were among those indicted. They own and operate Jack’s Pizza and Burgers, at 1000 N. Green Bay Road in Waukegan, and Jack’s Pizza and Burgers, at 500 Center St. in Grayslake.

In some cases, the restaurants and even delivery vehicles were used to transfer drugs, Chief Daniel Greathouse said in a statement.

"This criminal element has long been a thorn in the side of the Waukegan Police Department," Greathouse said. "Without a steady loyal customer base, this crew could not have flourished for so many years."

Police said an estimated $160,000 worth of narcotics, including almost five pounds of cocaine, exchanged hands in Lake County during the "lengthy" investigation. The Papandreou brothers -- Elias, 27, and Kostatino, 34, both of Wadsworth, and Jack, who already was in federal custody -- have all been previously convicted of drug possession and distribution. They all served time in prison.

Each of the 19 were charged with criminal drug conspiracy and are held on $500,000 bond.

"I’m confident that this type of investigation and the efforts of all will disrupt the distribution of all drug dealers citywide," Greathouse said.

If this was true, I'm sure the war on drugs wouldn't have lasted 50 years after all these busts. Sounds like a bad case of head-in-the-sand till the problem goes away. It'll work, after everyone is dead and the country ceases to exist.

I personally can't wait. Good fucking riddance imo.

something really similar to this happened in the town i lived in while i was in highschool, only it was 6 people instead of 19.

it was front page news and i was reading the story in the paper, and my mom caught notice of me reading the paper, which was unusual because i didnt read the paper ever. she walked over to see what i was reading and she was like "do you know any of those people?" and i was like "ha, yea"
