SAN DIEGO: Authorities have arrested 19 people in connection with an international drug trafficking and illegal gambling ring.
The US attorney's office says arrests were made on Wednesday in Southern California, Sacramento, Phoenix, Louisiana and Virginia.
Two other people were previously arrested, including Owen Hanson, who played football at the University of Southern California more than a decade ago.
The federal indictment, unsealed on Wednesday, alleges that Hanson ran an organization that sold drugs from heroin to meth, laundered millions of dollars through shell companies, operated illegal sports gambling websites, ran a network of bookies, and strong-armed debtors.
A message left for Hanson's attorney wasn't immediately returned.
