OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (TNN) - 18 people have been charged in connection to a massive drug trafficking ring operating in Oklahoma.
The announcement was made earlier in the week that more than 100 federal, state, and local law enforcement officers executed 15 search warrants and multiple arrest warrants throughout the Oklahoma City metro area targeting a drug trafficking organization distributing methamphetamine.
The operation was the result of a two-year joint state-wide investigation. Several of the people charged were inmates at various Oklahoma prisons, including Charles Mansfield, who is serving time at the Lawton Correctional Facility.

Oklahoma law enforcement has a warning for parents and educators.
Products with THC, packaged like something that can be bought at a convenience store, are being sold on the streets, the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics officials said.
THC products that look like candy can not be bought at local dispensaries due to Oklahoma’s packaging laws.
However, OBN officials said the products are trafficked in and can be found on the dark web.
“They literally could be getting high in plain sight,” said Mark Woodward, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spokesman.
That could be in a student s classroom or bedroom. Photos of products seized by OBN agents shows THC candy that looks nearly identical to the real thing.
