Roc-A-Fella Record co-founder, Kareem “Biggs” Burke and 43 others (including a High Times magazine staffer) were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for their alleged involvement in a narcotic ring. According to the NY Post, agents raided Biggs’ home in North Bergen, NJ this morning. Reports say the network was ran by Geovanny “Manny” Rodriguez Perez and operated along the East Coast. Agents seized $1 million and 177 pounds of marijuana. In regards to the bust, special agent Jim Hayes said:
“Perez has created a super drug distribution network that has controlled the marijuana market in NYC. It was transported in bulk from Florida to New York. From there it was divvied up among three main cells in the NYC-area and distributed to their clients. Right now we are focused on taking down the network and, as the investigation continues, we want to make sure that other rival networks or other co-conspirators cannot use the same tools.”
