Drug ring going down like Dominoes

First it was Iddi Bakari's girlfriend who pleaded guilty, then just a couple days ago his wife, and, yesterday, one of the major conspirators in the Columbus to Yellow Springs drug ring, Robert F. McDonald, copped to five years on seven counts of trafficking and related charges. Another co-conspirator, Wesley J. Stallworth has already started serving a four year prison term. It seems the Domino effect is taking it's toll in Greene County Common Pleas Court as one member of the conspiracy allegedly headed up by Yellow Springs resident Bakari after another goes down.

According to police, it was McDonald's ties to Georgia that led Bakari to flee there after police gathered evidence from his six houses in Columbus. A tip to the TV Show "Americas Most Wanted" led to Bakari's arrest there. He committed suicide while awaiting extradition in a Georgia jail.
