Claims Responsibility

Kevin Kilo, the chief of the narcotics
team in Charlottesville,
claimed that his group gave the
Mechanicsville municipal police the
tip-off that enabled them to nab
Mr. Mitchell.

All of these arrests occurred over
a month ago. The three men arrested
in Charlottesville were
caught when they snatched an
envelope that was at the base of
Mr. Jefferson's statue in the Rotunda.
The envelope contained 7
ounces of marijuana.

Mr. Kilo explained that his
group was heading for Richmond
because the three men arrested
had the names of four more men
in that city who were believed to
be part of the ring.
