Granny ‘Drug Kingpin’ Busted in Oklahoma

Silver haired and sweet faced, Darlene Mayes looks like many grannies but according to police, she is one of Oklahoma’s biggest drug kingpins.

Her operation went up in smoke this week, when police entered her home and found 4 pounds of pot and $276,000 cash.

Police found $15,000 bundles of cash stashed away in the home.

Mayes initially told police the money was part of her retirement fund.
Police also say she was packing a semiautomatic pistol and a revolver.

Investigators say her alleged pot-dealing network spanned four states, from Tulsa, Okla., to Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri.
Police believe she supplied up to 40 percent of the marijuana in that area.

As the mastermind, police believe she had a network of dealers, including her son Jerry who was also arrested.

Law enforcement expert Brad Garrett says harmless looking seniors can sometimes be the most efficient drug dealers.

“It doesn’t surprise me that someone this age would be actively involved in marijuana distribution because there’s just too much money to be made. If they keep a low profile, they don’t talk to many people, and they don’t get greedy, they can go on for years.”

Mayes is not the first grandmother accused of ditching retirement for a second career in drug dealing.

In the United Kingdom, 68-year-old Patricia Tabram—dubbed the cannabis grandma—was charged with intent to supply after authorities say they found a marijuana farm in her home.

In Tennessee, an elderly couple was busted for selling prescription drugs.

But the granddaddy of all drug dealers may be Francis Cook, 83, also known as Britain’s oldest drug dealer.

seems like she was the stash house

LOL, supplying 40%..
Howard Marks was "The biggest drug smuggler in the world" according to the DEA-who were well aware of operations much larger than his when they said this.
They just cant play honourably

"If it sounds way too retarded to be believed, then you probably should not bother trying to believe it."

I had some very good friend that live in Oklahoma, and the pot that they got was nothing more than mexican dirt weed. Those people haven't a clue what good weed is. Hell when the allowed beer sales in stores, the only thing they could sell was beer, nothing else, no smokes chip or anything. Oklahoma is a weird bassackwards state goo place tp be from.

Granny! Stop selling cartel weed and drugs! The cops are all over them and undercover cops are running up the dealing lines from street dealers to cartel bosses - backwards! Using cartel drugs is like using blood diamonds! You are dirty in helping them kill people in Mexico! Wash your hands of the blood and sell only US pot if you have to sell and grow your own plant to smoke or buy US. More expensive maybe but better quality and blood free! Let the cops remove the cartel competition for US dealers and growers...

Would you grow in Oklahoma? I wouldn't...I think they still hang people for cultivation there...

They don't hang you anymore, but you can get life in prison for cultivation, large scale distribution, and now baking edibles, making hash, or having a grinder with a kief screen because that is considered hash as well. I know people that grow there.

I think they are some of the dumbest people that I know.
Because they live in Oklahoma of course.

Can't fix dumb ass...

 

[Chronage]

Is this even considered news?

I'm not sure but 276K isn't a multiple of 15K bundles. Pig math is funny.
