KINGSTON – One of three types of heroin allegedly sold by five people busted by authorities Wednesday night was called OBAMA with an imprint of the presidential candidate on packets, said Frank Noonan, regional director for the state Office of Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation and Drug Control.

The heroin packets siezed in an overnight drug bust were being sold under the name "Obama 09".

"I've never seen a stamp like that before," Noonan said during a news conference Thursday morning.

Noonan said the five people arrested were part of a heroin distribution ring in Edwardsville, Kingston and Wilkes-Barre.

Five people - Christopher Allen, 25, also known as Face, Jennifer Catanzariti, 24, Derek Reich, 20, Jessica Lynn Deshazo, 31, and Sirelle Buscemi, 21 - were charged with various drug offenses, including corrupt organization and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. They were arraigned by District Judge Paul Roberts in Kingston and jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility.

Deputy State Attorney General Tim Doherty said the five, if convicted, face a maximum sentence of 48 years in state prison.

Undercover agents with the Luzerne County Drug Task Force and state Attorney General's Office began the investigation in August.

Not publicly, of course. But then, he doesn't publicly endorse ANY of his actual positions.

"Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though," he says.

He, of course, is Barack Obama. But there's much more. This for instance:

"We were always playing on the white man's court . . . by the white man's rules," he writes. "If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher . . . wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had the power and you didn't. . . . The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage."

"And the final irony: should you refuse this defeat and lash out at your captors . . . they would have a name for that too. Paranoid. Militant."
