Pellicoro sought in Ravenel Case
U.S. Attorney Reggie Lloyd said Wednesday that he expects Pellicoro to be located and that the FBI has been working with overseas authorities to find him.“They do have some leads,” he said. “We hope at some point very soon to have him do the right thing and come face these allegations.”
Pellicoro, a native of Italy, was 53 when he fled South Carolina in September shortly after he was named in a charge of conspiracy with intent to distribute cocaine. After claiming he was in Switzerland, he has not been heard from since. He was not required to surrender his passport before his arraignment, officials said. His cell phone is no longer in service.
I am confused here. Is Pellicoro being accused of drug dealing or simply using? If all they are charging him with his using then this is a huge waste of state and Federal funds to be trying to locate and extradite this guy from half way across the world. Really, who cares.
