too funny!

They say this guy was nearly untouchable. What made him so much more elusive than anyone else? I thought cell phones were traceable too.

I am amazed at the number of times I read News articles and there are glaring typographical and grammar errors. This one takes the cake. Paragraph 5, "There was no brick and motor..." I would like to think that the Ms. Kim at least has a college education, even if she did not major in English or journalism. I'm surprised that she would try to use a term of speech, when she is unaware of the actual term without asking a co-worker.

So, Ms. Kim the term you were looking for is "brick and mortar" it refers to the stuff houses are made of, and if used properly in your article would mean the accused has no house from which he operates his drug business. How,ever, has you have used it here, I would think he has no house or CAR.

I do not think the war on drugs is winnable someone will just replace Craig Woods and the whole thing will continue.

This is one case where the government should throw up its hands, legalize drugs and then regulate it like it does alcohol.

If drugs are going to be sold, at least the government ought to gain some tax money from it and save the expense of trying to eliminate it.

As for Craig Woods, I hope he spends a lot of time in jail.

Did any of his "associates" have those stupid poker logos on their back windows? I had heard that was some sort of drug gang...

This guy is no king pin. Everyone in the fed knows cellphones is how you get there. This is a small time hood. No real drug dealer moving any substantial weight uses cellphones. Even if they do only once then the thing is discarded. And they never carry an active one on their person. Only small timers and the real dumb do that.

Great job! One more loser going to lock up. Hopefully all arrested are going to lock up. Scum. I hope they had some nice houses and cars and stupid bling bling jewelry the government seizes and auctions off.

Well as a country we tried that once already. It didn't work out so well. Which is why drugs are illegal today.

Drugs like cocaine and lithium and opium to name a few were in a whole lot of products. Coke originally had cocaine in its formulation and Seven Up had lithium. There were many types of tonics that had opium as an ingredient. This nation had a huge number of unsuspecting junkies before the government started forcing drugs to be controlled.

I think it would probably be better to have drugs legalized and controlled like alcohol is but some drugs are considerably more addicting than alcohol.

I personally don't think the government should be in the position of playing mommy. The lack of personal responsibility in so many people today kind of warrants it though. I certainly don't want to wind up paying for them when they get addicted and drop out of the work force. I also don't want to pay their medical when they get AIDS or Hepatitis or OD.

ImaCritic, maybe you, too, should get some grammar and sentence structure training. "However" is one word, and "as" HAS no h.
