Federal prosecutors in Sacramento have charged an East Coast attorney with conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana and hashish oil, alleging that he used his personal Learjet since last summer to fly the drugs around the country, reports The Sacremento Bee.
Manish Patel, an attorney licensed in New York and New Jersey, is named in a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday morning in federal court, according to the Bee‘s Sam Stanton.
The El Dorado County District Attorney accused Patel of flying marijuana and cannabis oil into California and other locales since at least August 2018, using a $345,000 Learjet he purchased mostly with cash.
