Defendants Released From Custody

A federal judge inBeaumont has ordered all nine defendants arrested last week following a raid

at Jake’s Fireworks in Nederland to be released from custody until their trials. The nine have

been named in a 24 count indictment in what prosecutors say they were part of a chemical

company that sold an illegal product. All have been charged with drug trafficking and money

laundering. They face 20 years to life in federal prison if they are convicted.
