ELYRIA, Ohio – Elyria Police, Lorain Police and the Lorain County Sheriff’s Department arrested 34 people—all related to each other in some way—in connection with 0,000 of cocaine seized.
The investigation started last year and ramped up in the past two months, culminating in the arrests Friday, March 13 and Monday, March 16, investigators said during a press conference Wednesday.
Authorities seized 3.4 kilos of cocaine, worth 0,000, five guns and ,000 in cash.
The leaders of what’s been dubbed the Burns, Milton and Tillman Drug Trafficking Organization by authorities are Jarvis Burns, 33, of Sheffield Lake, who paid for the cocaine, and his cousin Travis Milton, 32, of Elyria, who orchestrated large-scale buys from two dealers in Cleveland.
The large-scale transactions were at Burns’ and Milton’s grandmother Grace Milton’s home on Tattersal Court in Elyria.
They bought ,000 of cocaine from Christopher Craig, 43 and Bernard Washington, 44, both of Cleveland, investigators said.
