Deadly Drugs Seized From Nationwide Trafficking Ring On LI: DA

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY — Over five kilograms of deadly narcotics were seized in a major drug trafficking bust in Suffolk County, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney.

Twenty-one people are being charged in a 109-count indictment, including associates of the Bloods street gang, following a long-term investigation into large-scale narcotics trafficking in Suffolk County, the DA said.

According to the DA, Larell Campbell, 32, of Copiague and Carlos Torres, 42, of Bay Shore, were trafficking large-scale narcotics, including fentanyl and cocaine, through Suffolk County.

Many of Campbell and Torres’ customers had their own distribution networks, which included defendant Carolyn Tolin, 46, of Centereach, the DA said. Tolin is charged with operating as a major trafficker for allegedly running a narcotics business through the dark web from her Centereach residence and shipping the drugs, including fentanyl, through the United States Postal Service and UPS to customers around the country in exchange for cryptocurrency payments, the DA said.

"This case is notable because of the online dark web sale of deadly drugs all over the United States," Tierney said. "We are asking for the public’s help. We believe that these deadly drugs were sent all over the country. If you have seen this warning flyer that was shipped out with these drugs, please contact the District Attorney’s office via our webpage. We want to track down each of these deadly shipments and get them off the streets to prevent overdose deaths."

According to the DA, beginning in late December 2023, members of the Fentanyl Task Force began a probe into a narcotics trafficking operation allegedly led by Campbell and Torres. Through the execution of over 100 search warrants into vehicles, cellular telephones, residences, computers and other digital sources of data, coupled with thousands of hours of physical, electronic and video surveillance, they found that Campbell and Torres were allegedly supplying large-scale amounts of fentanyl and cocaine to narcotics dealers throughout Suffolk and Nassau County, the DA said.

The indictment charges Campbell with operating as a major trafficker for possessing over $75,000 worth of cocaine, fentanyl and heroin from June to December 2024, the DA said. Campbell’s large-scale operation was run primarily by members of his immediate family, including brothers Donail Campbell, Raheem Campbell and Malachi Campbell, as well as Campbell’s mother, Monica Jones, girlfriend Diamond Pernell and sister-in-law Tersherra Green, the DA said.

According to the DA, the Campbell family allegedly worked together to redistribute Larell Campbell’s product to others or assisted in transporting product, supplying payments and engaging in transactions at Larell Campbell’s direction.

In December 2024, law enforcement executed search warrants at several residences and vehicles associated with the Campbell family in Babylon and Amityville, allegedly recovering around two kilograms of cocaine, 1.5 kilograms of heroin mixed with fentanyl and an additional 250 grams of fentanyl, the DA said.

Tolin is also charged with operating as a major trafficker for both possessing and selling over $75,000 worth of cocaine, fentanyl and heroin from September 2024 to March 2025, the DA said. She led her narcotics operation through her dark web vendor site MamaKnowsBrown that she ran out of the garage of her Centereach home and offered heroin, fentanyl, crack cocaine and powder cocaine in varying quantities to local and nationwide customers, the DA said.

With each order, customers had the option to order additional fentanyl or cocaine from what Tolin allegedly referred to as the "Tip Jar" and offered customers multiple shipping options and the opportunity to give feedback and reviews of each product, the DA said.

The DA said that after receiving an order, Tolin would arrange for the narcotics to be shipped through the United States Postal Service and UPS to customers across the country, totaling over 1,000 shipments to 40 different states since September 2024. She also used Uber to deliver products locally within Suffolk County and received payment for these sales in the form of an untraceable cryptocurrency totaling over $93,000 in just two and one-half months leading up to her March 2025 arrest, the DA said.

In every package that Tolin mailed or delivered, she included an overdose warning card to the customer, detailing the potency and danger of the narcotics Tolin sold, the DA said. In the overdose card, Tolin allegedly warned her customers that her product could be deadly and advised having Narcan—a nasal spray used to reverse the effects of a life-threatening opioid overdose—on hand when using, the DA said. Tolin also allegedly cautioned users not to use the products alone and cautioned that because of the potency, the narcotics were meant for experienced, long-term users only, the DA said..

On March 14, when law enforcement executed a search warrant at Tolin’s Centereach residence and her garage, they allegedly recovered hundreds of grams of fentanyl, heroin and cocaine, the DA said. Also, inside the garage, law enforcement allegedly recovered multiple computers, cell phones, several packages in the process of allegedly being prepared for shipment, as well as a stockpile of Tolin’s signature overdose warning cards, envelopes, packaging and shipping materials, Xylazine test strips, and a digital scale, the DA said.

Of the 21 defendants, 20 have been arrested and 12 have been arraigned before Acting Supreme Court Justice Richard I. Horowitz, while several of the remaining defendants are pending arraignment, the DA said. Of the indicted defendants, eight are charged with bail-eligible offenses and are in custody, while 13 are not bail eligible under New York State law, meaning a prosecutor cannot request and a judge cannot set bail, the DA said.
