HUDSON -- An investigation into a highly organized oxycodone ring -- allegedly led by Arde Harry Olsen, known as the King of Hudson -- ended today with 19 arrests, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The agency says the group obtained the potent prescription drug by using "doctor shoppers" who visited various physicians throughout the Tampa Bay area. The headquarters of the trafficking operation, according to authorities, was 11923 Pine Forest Drive in Hudson -- the address of Arde Olsen Auto Repair.
The investigation involved the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Attorney's Office -- with assistance from the Hillsborough and Pinellas sheriff's offices, the Tampa and New Port Richey police departments, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The suspects were indicted on numerous drug charges and arrested this morning. They are:
Arde Olsen, 51, known as the King of Hudson
Shannon Olsen, 45
Jason Michael Olsen, 23
William "Billy" Joseph Califano, 29
Earle Monroe Silcox, 30
Jessie Krumm, 21
Amber Marie Morreale, 19
Jerald "Popeye" John Gilio Jr., 33
Anthony "Ant" Robert Upton, 28
Donna "Fat Donna" Jean Bynum, 31
Debra A. Collins, 48
Dannie James Mariedth, 50
Sarah Lynn Maynard, 25
Joshua "Josh" McTavish Brown, 24
Anthony "Tony" Keith Christian, 27
Billy Ray Hardin, 27
Soni Jo Cheesbrough, 27
Dennis "Ash" Ashley Miller, 35
Jereme Lee Gould, 24
The press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office says that each defendant faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison if convicted.
I don’t know, but the Olsen family certainly has a problem.
"For a moment I was worried"
Badazzes, yeah, right.
We urgently need a pic of “fat Donna”
You’d think Soni Jo Cheesbrough would have had a decent nickname.
Well, just gotta tell you after finding this out tonight about my brother and nephews I do agree with you that that part of the Olsen family does have issues. I just wish my nephews did not follow in the dads, uncles path
