Investigators from the Sacramento Sherriff’s Department, the Financial Crimes Task Force of the Internal Revenue Service, and the U.S. Postal Service have shut down a multi-state marijuana distribution ring that appears to have been based out of Sacramento. On Tuesday morning, search warrants were served at three locations in Sacramento, resulting in five arrests, the discovery of two marijuana grows, multiple weapons seizures, the 
interruption of several pounds of processed pot ready to be shipped, and the forfeiture of nearly $70,000 in cash.
29-year-old Keni Renta, 28-year-old Jauwon Wilder, 34-year-old Charles Wilson, 35-year-old Nathan Curry, and 25-year-old Maryann Hunter are all now facing numerous charges in relation to the unfolding case. More arrests are expected in the days to 
come.
According to reports, the arrested persons would meet at the same location each day to prepare and then ship parcels weighting between 7 to 12 pounds each. The boxes would be directed to eastern states such as New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Illinois. Unknown individuals would deposit cash into fictitious 
business and personal accounts in the receiving states, and the money would be withdrawn the following day in Sacramento by the arrested parties.
Investigators have been watching the Sacramento group since at least last October. They estimate that the ring laundered over $1 million in cash during their operation. Due to the seriousness of 
the crimes, bail has been denied for all five suspects. They are set to appear in a Sacramento courtroom on Wednesday.
