A King of Prussia man was among three people authorities said remained wanted at the time of the announcement following a major Montgomery County drug trafficking investigation that resulted in charges against 10 people.

Authorities said Kevin Ringgold, 43, of King of Prussia, was still being sought on an arrest warrant when the case was announced. Craig Cole, 59, of Norristown, and Andre Young, 45, of Ridley Park, were also listed as wanted. Seven other defendants had been arrested.

Another King of Prussia resident was also arrested and charged in connection with the investigation.

According to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, the investigation began in March and focused on a group accused of distributing cocaine and marijuana throughout Montgomery County and surrounding areas.

Investigators said members of the organization used homes and storage units to store and distribute drugs. Authorities also identified a location in Devon that they said was used to store, package and prepare bulk marijuana for distribution.

Search warrants executed during July and August resulted in the seizure of more than 250 pounds of marijuana, 7.5 ounces of cocaine, 12 firearms and approximately $110,000 in cash, according to authorities.

The charges vary by defendant and include corrupt organizations, conspiracy, possession with intent to deliver controlled substances, criminal use of a communication facility and related offenses.

Because arrest statuses can change quickly, this story reflects Ringgold’s status at the time of the DA’s announcement.

Criminal charges are allegations. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
