GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (AP) - Police acting on Shinnecock Indian Nation leaders' request for a probe into drug dealing arrested the son of a tribal trustee Thursday, and accused him of being the main source of cocaine on the reservation.
A dozen others were arrested on various drug, conspiracy and weapons charges, prosecutors and state police said.
Authorities said Awan Gumbs, 26, the son of Shinnecock Trustee Lance A. Gumbs, led the group, though two other men were accused of supplying him with large quantities of cocaine. Police said some drug sales took place inside the elder Gumbs' business, the Shinnecock Outpost in Southampton.
