Drug ring suspect prepares for trial

Posted:

Prosecutors say he was one of four Vietnamese nationals involved in a "sophisticated drug operation".
 
And soon a jury will decide the fate of Khac Nguyen, 25.

Nguyen is charged with three counts of possessing 30 pounds of marijuana  with the intent to distribute.

Nguyen was arrested late August after investigators stopped a 3 car convoy he was traveling with near Wall.

According to defense attorney Ellery Gray, one car contained 30 pounds of marijuana, but Nguyen was not in that vehicle.

He faces 45 years in prison if convicted on three counts of drug possession and distribution.
 
His two day trial will begin January 22nd.
