The FBI says two of 40 people indicted in a drug ring allegedly run by two inmates in different Indiana prisons remain at large.
FBI Special Agent Wendy Osborne says 39-year-old John Smith and 35-year-old Jermaine Coleman were still being sought Thursday morning. She says two others listed on an FBI fugitive bulletin sent out Wednesday were apprehended that evening.
The four were among 40 people named in a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday. That 26-count indictment alleges that inmates Oscar Perez and Justin Addler ran a drug ring from behind bars in prisons in Pendleton and Westville.
Authorities say Perez and Addler arranged the purchase and sale of heroin, methamphetamines and other drugs using cellphones smuggled in by guards who also smuggled drugs into prison.
