According to the article, in 2009, federal agents had been investigating the "Elias Gudino Drug Trafficking Organization," court records said.
According to court records, investigators had information that Gudino had been trafficking drugs since the 1990s bringing shipments of cocaine into Akron.
Federal prison records show Gudino was released from prison in November 2017, but court records show he remained on probation at least through May 2022.
