The National Police have arrested Asolin Perez, known as the “King of Marijuana” in Santo Domingo East. He is thought to be the leader of a national and international drug-dealing ring made up of Dominicans and Haitians. <\/p>\n
Police spokesman Jacobo Mateo Moquete said that Perez was linked to operations in Haiti and in the Dominican Republic, and worked out of a drug warehouse in Jimani on the southwestern border with Haiti where he reportedly handled 300 lb of marijuana a week with an estimated street value of RD$14 million a month. The marijuana was then sold in the Santo Domingo slum neighborhoods of Capotillo, Guachupita and Sabana Perdida. <\/p>\n
The Police reported that in 2011 he shot at a patrol and injured an army Lieutenant Colonel and in 2012, the National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) said he belonged to the same network and confiscated around 409 pounds of marijuana.<\/p>\n
