Thongsay Prommachai, 28, of Robbinsdale, was arrested in a grocery store parking lot with more than 4,000 ecstasy pills. He was indicted on Tuesday.
Prommachai is charged in U.S. District Court with one count of distribution of Ecstasy. He has posted $25,000 bail.
Federal agents received information that Prommachai was dealing in October. A cooperating defendant arranged to buy the drug from him for $4.50 per pill. Their conversations were recorded.
On Oct,15, Prommachai told the buyer he had 4,500 pills for sale. They then set up a deal in the Cub Foods parking lot in Crystal. Agents had recording devices on the buyer and in the vehicle.
Prommachai got into the buyer's vehicle and left a bag of pills. That's when agents arrested Prommachai.

I'm so glad they caught the guy! It's been recorded that just one pill of ecstasy has caused death. Stories like that have terrified me of drugs and kept me far from them, of course my values and morals have a lot to do with it as well. I feel encouraged hearing stories like this when they catch the bad guys, good job Laura.
ReplyDeleteI think that this would be a good example of something that schools frown apon.
ReplyDelete4,000 ecstasy pills?! thats crazy... I am glad that they got that stuff off the street.
ReplyDeleteWow. That's crazy 4,000 ecstasy pills!? I'm glad that they were able to catch him. Good job on your summary!
ReplyDeleteThis was a good story about the events that led to Prommachai’s arrest. In fact, your news brief kept me reading right until the end. It’s amazing that something like this can happen by Cub Foods in Crystal, which I thought was a fairly good area. But, I guess this sort of thing happens just about anywhere in the cities.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how big the drug market is. This was probably just a drop in the bucket. They have to do what they can though, it is a good start.
