SACRAMENTO:
The
Feds have busted a prominent West Coast businessman who has been
accused of trafficking drugs from Elk Grove to L.A. to Canada! For
30 years, the Dhami Trucking Plaza on Stockton Blvd. was in business
but now it seems there are suspicions that the vehicles were being
used to ferry cocaine across the country.
The CBS13 quoted
the Feds as claiming that Balbir Singh Dhami was at the center of
it. Dhami is a well known leader of the Sikh community and lives in
Elk Grove businessman. Now, he faces charges of trying to distribute
cocaine out of the U.S. and Canada.
The CBS13
claimed that it obtained an affidavit that says Dhami and several
other suspects in Southern California conspired to move almost a
million dollars worth of cocaine. Dhami who owns a successful
trucking plaza in Sacramento allegedly supplied drivers and trucks.
It seems Dhami
was wire tapped. Now his friends and workers preferred not to talk
at all, but Dhami seems to have spilled many beans. “The affidavit
says the drug supplier in
L.A.
demanded compensation as one suspect offered to sell his home to
make it right,” the CBS13.com reported.
Dhami’s son,
Aman, stoutly defended his father and said he’s being blamed
unnecessarily. He explained how drugs were something that was
totally against Sikhism and his father could never have indulged in
this kind of a thing.
All the suspects
were eventually arrested and are facing federal charges possessing
and distributing cocaine.
