CENTRALIA, Wash. -- An inmate is now facing new charges after he was busted allegedly running an organized drug trafficking ring from inside prison.
According to the Centralia Police Department, 30-year-old Forrest Amos would extort personal information from sex offenders in prison in order to set up false phone lines for making collect calls. He would reportedly use those calls to set up sales of prescription pain-relief medication between suppliers, sellers and customers.
But, the Centralia Police Department intercepted those calls and launched a long and complex investigation into the ring in January, culminating in the serving of search warrants at New Beginnings Wellness Centers in Tumwater and Aberdeen June 17.
