McAlester, Okla. —
A multi-agency task force called "Operation Dealer's Choice" recently broke up a drug ring in McAlester and has now resulted in all the defendants pleading guilty to various charges.
Three men, 29-year-old Mario Dushun Richardson, 33-year-old Julland Auddis Richardson and 23-year-old Rodney Lee Morgan, Jr., were from Tulsa.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says the group was dealing crack cocaine in McAlester during the past year.
Authorities say many of the drug sales happened at a house not far from an elementary school in McAlester.
The task force included the McAlester Police Department, the Pittsburg County Sheriff's Office and the Tulsa Police Department, to name just a few agencies.
The men could get a sentence from 5 to 40 years in prison and be fined up to $500,000.
