PIERRE, (KCCR) — Federal prosecutors have announced dozens of arrests connected to the dismantling of four major drug trafficking organizations that have brought methamphetamine and fentanyl to the state. One of the 63 defendants is from Chamberlain. U-S Attorney Ron Parsons says Rodney Rohrbach Sr. of Chamberlain was a sub-distributor for the Quantie Harris Drug Trafficking Organization. His son, Rodney Rohrbach, Jr. of Sioux Falls is also sub-distributor for the Harris D-T-O. Rohrbach, Jr. will be sentenced Monday. Rohrback, Sr. was sentenced to over five years in federal prison, for 70 total months. The Harris D-T-O is connected according to Parsons to over one-point-two million dollars in money laundering; more than 100 pounds of methamphetamine, an estimated 50-thousand fentanyl pills and approximately two kilograms of fentanyl power. Combined, the four D-T-O’s are accused of trafficking over half ton of meth and multiple kilograms of fentanyl pill and power over an undetermined number of years. The 49 year-old Harris was sentenced, as leader, to 33 years in federal prison.
