This is a news story I came across earlier today that I would share with all of you. When first reading this, I couldn't believe what this seemingly, sweet, looking elderly woman was being charged with but it just goes to show.. anyone can be a criminal. The thought of this woman being a "kingpin" is rather humorous to me. It's Golden Girls Gone Bad, quite literally. Thank you steemers for your views, upvotes, and comments!
A massive drug bust in Tennessee has led to the arrest of a 75-year-old woman police are calling "kingpin granny."
An extensive investigation into the illegal sale of prescription pills led to the arrest of Betty Jordan earlier this month.
While at Jordan's home in Parsons, Tenn., investigators say they confiscated more than 1,000 prescription pills that included morphine, oxycodone and Xanax and allegedly seized over $12,000 in cash and assets.
Jordan was charged with counts of drug manufacturing/delivery/sale/possession of a controlled substance, possession of a legend drug with intent, possession of a legend drug and with evading arrest.
Jordan was booked into the Decatur County Detention Center on Feb. 9 and was later released on a $50,000 bond.
Police say the investigation in ongoing and more arrests are expected.
