Ohio Teenager Accused In High School Drug Ring

Thursday, August 2, 2012

One of the biggest drug dealers in the Cincinnati area was led into court this week. He didn't exactly look like a tough guy.

He was skinny, pale, bespectacled, dressed in a blue buttoned-down shirt and khakis -- and just 17 years old.

Three weeks before he was supposed to start his senior year in high school, Tyler Pagenstecher (PEG-ehn-steck-er) pleaded guilty to drug-trafficking charges in juvenile court.

Police say he played a major role in a drug ring that sold as much as $20,000 worth of high-grade marijuana a month to fellow students at two high schools.

He could be ordered held until he turns 21.
