In late 2024 and early 2025, Chang orchestrated the delivery of meth from California to customers, including in the Dayton area.
While in Los Angeles, Chang sent drugs to other members of the drug trafficking organization, who then trafficked the drugs in southwest Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, according to the Department of Justice.
Chang is the lead defendant in this case, and three other defendants have been charged and pleaded guilty as part of the drug conspiracy:
- Erika Garcia, 45, of Trotwood;
- Dennis Campbell, 41, of Hamilton
- Kathryn Tucker, 47, of Bourbon County, Kentucky.
Sentencing will be held at a future date.
