Officers say crates containing dozens of pounds of weed were mailed to Yanis’s house in 2018. They also found more marijuana, guns, and tens of thousands of dollars in cash in the house when they searched it. Yanis’s son, Nader, has already started serving a two-year sentence for his role in the drug dealing.
