Drug Dealer Going to Prison - WSAZ News Staff
Prosecutors say the woman behind the largest crack bust in Scioto County history is going to prison for 20 years.
A jury has found 27-year old Tomeka Lewis of Detroit guilty on various crack cocaine charges.
Prosecutors say Lewis was behind a trafficking scheme to bring 615 grams of crack cocaine from Detroit to Huntington.
Back in July, Ohio State Troopers arrested Lewis during a traffic stop on US 52 in Portsmouth.
After a 45 minute search, troopers found four cakes of crack cocaine hidden in a kitty litter box in the car’s trunks. Prosecutors also say the numerous air freshener products were found in the car to mask the odor of the drug and throw off the drug dogs.
The crack was valued at $300,000.
