9 Dead, Including 6 Students And A Coach, In Crash Involving University Of The Southwest Golf Teams
MIAMI, Fla. – The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the U.S. Department of State today announced a new reward for information that will lead to the location, arrest, and/or conviction of People’s Republic of China (PRC) national Jian Zhang, a key leader of a transnational criminal organization known as the Zhang Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO).
A reward of up to $5 million is being offered through the U.S. Department of State’s Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program. As the owner of Zaron Bio-Tech in Shandong Province, China, Zhang utilized the internet to advertise the sale of various illicit controlled substances and was the principal leader and organizer of a transnational criminal conspiracy which sold controlled substances and controlled substance analogues throughout the United States and Canada.
According to a 2017 federal indictment from the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of North Dakota, Zhang ran an organization that manufactured fentanyl and fentanyl analogues in at least four known labs in China and advertised and sold fentanyl and fentanyl analogues to U.S. customers over the internet. The investigation, coordinated and conducted by DEA and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), discovered that since January 2013, Zhang’s organization sent thousands of orders of fentanyl, fentanyl analogues and other illicit drugs, pill presses, stamps, or dies used to shape fentanyl and fentanyl analogues into pills, to customers in the United States through the mail or international parcel delivery services. The controlled substances and controlled substance analogues that Zhang’s organization imported into and distributed throughout the United States resulted in the overdose deaths of four individuals in North Dakota, Oregon, North Carolina, and New Jersey, as well as serious bodily injuries to five additional individuals.
In a superseding indictment in January 2018, Zhang was further charged in the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of North Dakota, along with several other U.S., Canadian, and PRC nationals, with Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE), drug trafficking conspiracy, international money laundering conspiracy, and trafficking of illicit drugs which led to death and/or serious bodily injury. Several of the U.S. nationals have already been convicted and sentenced to penalties ranging from 20 years to life imprisonment. These strict sentences are the result of provisions under U.S. law, which sets the penalty for conspiracy to manufacture, distribute, and possess with the intent to distribute certain controlled substances and controlled substance analogues resulting in death at a minimum mandatory sentence of 20 years imprisonment.
“This investigation is an outstanding example of the commitment that DEA has to working with our domestic and international law enforcement partners to dismantle these drug trafficking organizations throughout the world, and emphasizes our dedication to keeping our communities safe and healthy,” said DEA Miami Field Division Acting Special Agent in Charge La Verne Hibbert. “We hope that this reward will encourage those with valuable information to contact DEA to bring Mr. Zhang to justice.”
This investigation was conducted by the DEA Miami Field Division, HSI Miami Field Office, HSI Grand Forks Office, and the HSI Oregon Field Office. It is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of North Dakota with assistance from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon, and the Department of Justice’s Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section. The indictment of Jian Zhang and others in his transnational criminal organization were supported and coordinated by the multi-agency Special Operations Division (SOD).
The U.S. Department of State is offering a REWARD OF UP TO $5 MILLION for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Jian Zhang, a/k/a Zhang Jian, a/k/a “Hong Kong Zaron.” The reward is also offered for information leading to the location of Zhang as the key leader of a transnational organized crime group.
If you have information, please contact the DEA by calling or texting +1-504-534-5134 via telephone/text/WhatsApp, or emailing [email protected].
If you are located outside of the United States, please contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. If in the United States, please contact the local DEA office in your city.
This reward is offered under the Department of State’s Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program (TOCRP). Since its establishment by Congress in 1986, more than 75 transnational criminals and major narcotics traffickers have been brought to justice under the TOCRP and the Narcotics Rewards Program (NRP) with the Department of State paying more than $135 million in rewards to date.

‘A MONSTER OF A HUMAN BEING.’ | Ex-Cop Sentenced For Sex Abuse Of Teen Boys In D.A.R.E. Program

BUCKS COUNTY, PA (BCDAO) – James Carey, the former Warminster Township police officer who sexually assaulted five boys, was sentenced on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, to serve 24 ½ to 55 years in a state correctional institution.
Carey, 54, of Cape May Court House in New Jersey, committed the acts while working as a DA.R.E. officer, a volunteer firefighter and while running a program for troubled youth at the township’s recreation center more than two decades ago.
Carey entered an open no contest plea on Oct 27, 2022, to five counts each of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and corruption of minors, seven counts of indecent assault, two counts each of statutory rape and statutory sexual assault and one count of aggravated indecent assault.
Prior to sentencing President Judge Wallace H. Bateman Jr., heard impact statements from the five victims who courageously testified about the emotional trauma the disgraced officer inflicted on them.
One man said the damage caused years of anger and resentment, leading to substance abuse, incarceration, and suicide attempts.
Another said his chance at a normal life was stolen by a “monster of a human being.”
Another victim said he lived his adolescent years in fear, blaming himself for Carey’s actions.
“I spent my whole adult life hating myself,” he said. “This has impacted every aspect of my life: physically, mentally, financially and emotionally.”
Noticing Carey wouldn’t look at the victims as they made their statements or look at their childhood photos projected on a screen in the courtroom, Judge Bateman called Carey a coward who used his “badge and uniform as weapons of his depravity.”
First Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Schorn said Carey not only used his positions as a police officer and a volunteer firefighter to lure his victims, he also used their families, the community and even the court system.
“He ingratiated himself into the lives of his victims, this is how he identified the most vulnerable among them, this is how he got away with perpetrating unimaginable sexual crimes upon children,” said Schorn, describing Carey as a “predator waiting to pounce.”
Schorn credited detectives and their unrelenting pursuit to locate victims and praised the victims as some of the most courageous men she’s ever met as a prosecutor. Carey was arrested on April 7, 2021, following a lengthy investigation by Bucks County Detectives and an inquiry by a Bucks County Investigating Grand Jury that found Carey sexually assaulted four boys between 1989 and 2009.
The next month following the publicity of his arrest, a fifth victim came forward and Carey faced additional charges. The victim in that case said he was 13 when Carey sexually assaulted him. Carey used his position as a uniformed officer assigned to the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program to take advantage of victims who were already facing challenges in their lives.
At a preliminary hearing in June 2021, the victims, now in their 30s and 40s, testified about the repeated abuse by Carey.
Most of the assaults happened while Carey was in uniform, the victims testified. Carey was a police officer for Warminster Township from 1989 to 2009, and previously and briefly worked for the North Wales Police Department in Montgomery County (June 1988 to August 1988) and the Warwick Township Police Department (July 1988 to May 1989).
“It doesn’t get much worse: When someone in a position of trust does what he did, it shakes the community to its core,” Schorn said.
In addition to the sentence, Carey was also deemed a sexually violent predator. During Tuesday’s sentencing, Bateman also criticized the actions of the police department during the time Carey worked there for failing to do more for the victims.
“When a young man goes into the police department to make a report I would expect a more professional response,” he said. T
he case was prosecuted by First Assistant District Attorney Jennifer M. Schorn and Deputy District Attorney Brittney Kern.
