A far-flung family was among 16 persons charged in a drug conspiracy Thursday by a federal grand jury in Cincinnati.
Grand jurors said Randal E. Stubblefield Jr., 27, of Rockdale Avenue, Avondale, brought marijuana and cocaine from Los Angeles to Cincinnati.
His father, 52, and sisters, Anita, 30, and Jean Stubblefield, 28, in Los Angeles were among his sources, the 43-count indictment said.
The younger Randal Stubblefield faces 22 charges including continuing criminal enterprise with its 20 years to life penalty.
All 16 are charged with conspiracy; other charges include money laundering, drug trafficking and using a telephone in drug dealing.
Grand jurors said the ring sent more than $600,000 from Cincinnati to Los Angeles for drugs between January, 1994, and April, 1998.

Also named in the indictment were Sterling Youngblood, 28, of Rockdale Avenue, Avondale; Harold J. Thomas, 23, Yorktown Road, Bond Hill; Rodney F. Anderson, 28, Harvard Ave. Walnut Hills; Michael T. Jackson, 25, Evanston Avenue, Walnut Hills; Kevin L. Reese, 28, Martin St., Mount Healthy; James Crooks, 47, of Woodford Road, Kennedy Heights; Quentin Williams, 27, Columbus, Ohio; and Paul Dunn III, 26, Tuaililui F.
