A massive cocaine trafficking operation has been dealt a major blow in Oklahoma, with one individual facing serious charges.
A federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Oklahoma returned an indictment against TINA MARIE ZAHR, 48, of Porterville, California, alleging that she knowingly and intentionally possessed with intent to distribute 5 kilograms or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine, a Schedule II controlled substance, on or about February 23, 2017.
The charge carries a sentence of not less than 10 years imprisonment and up to life imprisonment, along with a fine of up to $10,000,000.00 or both. The investigation that led to Zahra’s indictment was conducted by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Assistant United States Attorney Timothy Hammer is handling the case, which is a stark reminder of the ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in the state.
The indictment serves as a warning to those involved in similar operations, that law enforcement is dedicated to bringing them to justice. With the help of agencies like the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the DEA, we will continue to disrupt and dismantle these networks.
The case is a prime example of the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies in the pursuit of justice. As we move forward, we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that those responsible for these crimes are held accountable.
TINA MARIE ZAHR is presumed innocent of the charges and may not be found guilty unless evidence establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
