The indictment alleges that, among other things, significant amounts of heroin had been pressed to resemble oxycodone pills in California before being shipped to Baton Rouge. Pills were then distributed to mid-level drug dealers before being sold in East Baton Rouge and Livingston parishes, a release from U.S. Attorney Walt Green says.
