Following a yearlong investigation, 21 people were indicted by a Yankton County grand jury and arrested on a variety of drug charges.  The majority of the suspects lived in Yankton, with a few from Aberdeen or Sioux Falls. They range in age from 18 to 46 years old.  They face charges including possession and distribution of methamphetamine, amphetamine, cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana, heroin and psilocybin mushrooms.  

Approximately 550 grams (slightly over one-pound) of methamphetamine, 200 grams of cocaine, 12.25 ounces of marijuana, .89 grams of heroin and 2.1 grams of psilocybin mushrooms were seized during the course of the investigation. The street value was estimated at more than $82,000.

While the 21 suspects await further court action, authorities say there are more arrests to come.  The cases are currently being prosecuted by the Attorney General's Drug Prosecution Unit.
