An Ellabell man is one of 32 people indicted in federal court on drug charges, it was announced late last week.
Jason Glover, 31, was among the 32 defendants charged with a conspiracy to distribute large amounts of marijuana, ecstasy and cocaine in Georgia and California.
Several of the defendants have also been charged with conspiring to launder the proceeds of their drug activities and with weapons charges, according to a press release from the United States Attorney’s Office in Savannah.
The indictments follow a six-month Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation into drug trafficking activities within Savannah, Atlanta and Los Angeles, California.

The investigation culminated in federal and state arrest and search warrants being executed on May 11, 2010 and July 7, 2010 in Savannah, Atlanta and California. During the investigation, agents seized drug proceeds, vehicles, guns and drugs, including the May 11th seizure of two one-hundred pound bales of marijuana intended for sale in the Savannah area.
United States Attorney Edward J.

Assistant United States Attorneys James D. Durham and Carlton R. Bourne are prosecuting the case for the United States.
