LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Eight people are named in a nine-count federal indictment in Little Rock accusing them of distributing heroin, which resulted in the deaths of two people.

The indictment was handed up on July 11 but not unsealed until Thursday. Federal prosecutors accuse the men of operating between May 2011 and June of this year.

Forty-year-old Wallando "Wiley" Onezine of Cabot is charged in six counts, including two distribution counts that led to the two deaths. Onezine's public defender, Molly K. Sullivan, had no comment.

The indictment focuses on heroin distribution in Cabot and elsewhere in Lonoke County. Prosecutors say there have been nine heroin overdoses since the fall, including the fatalities.

One person charged is still sought, 25-year-old Keith Sanders of Memphis, Tenn. Another, 21-year-old Landon Cope, was arrested Thursday.

no pictures so we can call them thugs and talk about their mothers and fathers and call cabot the ghetto cesspool. interesting the way the news is reporting things. butch you are right alchoholism destroys homes and families also and it is not a ghetto thing it is a human thing in any area of the world and any income range. well said. yankee you are also right where are the charges for the deaths? that is also interesting the way charges are handed out. heroin is the front door to hell! arkansas as a whole does not want heroin to make a huge presence in this state. it will destroy anyone in its path. and it will affect chenal and greystone and areas like that worse because they are the ones that can afford it without having to rob and steal and kill to get it. it is a rich mans high but the junkies look poor because they are so strung out. but you cant go get 20 dollars worth of heroin and make it last. thats one high and when its over your looking for the next high, you are sick without it and will do whatever to get it

I'm curious; if 2 people died, no murder or manslaughter charges?

After being handed down in one of these indictments and seeing more and more of them I don't see it stopping in the near future. I never messed with this stuff though. Smuggling could slow down though. Look at all the grow equipment you can buy in stores throughout the state. Made just for inside home use. Get it online. Meth heads are learning to do small in home cooks. Why smuggle when you can produce it here. I think the funniest thing in the world is when the people sit back with that drink in their hand running down people that use street drugs. Bad news drunks. Alcohol is a drug too. You can even make that at home. Means not having to drive to a wet county. You might even be surprised at the quality of wine you can make in house.

So glad these scum bags are not walking our streets anymore. Now if we can control the smuggeling and other dope pushers from sales, we'd be good.
