Man arrested in connection to multistate drug ring

A man who was free on bail after allegedly being caught four years ago with 11 pounds of cocaine and 35 pounds of marijuana was arrested Monday in Prince William County as authorities said he continued to be part of a multistate drug distribution ring.

Federal and local law enforcement on Monday said they had charged 17 people — 12 in Chicago, five in Prince William — with conspiring to distribute drugs in Northern Virginia and Illinois.

Officials said the primary targets of the investigation included Demont Story, who they say transported cocaine with his uncle Dennis Story from Chicago to Prince William County. Both were among those arrested Monday in Prince William.

Demont Story is awaiting trial in Oklahoma after a 2004 traffic stop led police to discover the large quantities of cocaine and marijuana, court records show.
