Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney today announced a 109-count indictment charging 21 defendants, including alleged members and associates of the Bloods street gang, following a long-term investigation into large-scale narcotics trafficking in Suffolk County. The investigation, led by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Fentanyl Task Force, has allegedly revealed that Larell Campbell, 32, of Copiague and Carlos Torres, 42, of Bay Shore, were trafficking large-scale narcotics, including fentanyl and cocaine, through Suffolk County. Many of Campbell and Torres’ customers had their own distribution networks, which included defendant Carolyn Tolin, 46, of Centereach. Tolin is charged with Operating as a Major Trafficker for allegedly running a narcotics business through the dark web from her Centereach residence. Tolin allegedly shipped narcotics, including fentanyl, through the United States Postal Service and UPS to customers around the country in exchange for cryptocurrency payments.
“This case is notable because of the online dark web sale of deadly drugs all over the United States,” said District Attorney Tierney. “We are asking for the public’s help. We believe that these deadly drugs were sent all over the country. If you have seen this warning flyer that was shipped out with these drugs, please contact the District Attorney’s office via our webpage. We want to track down each of these deadly shipments and get them off the streets to prevent overdose deaths.”
“Today’s indictments are a testament to the collaboration of our law enforcement partners. Thank you to the Fentanyl Taskforce for putting these narcotics traffickers and gang members out of business across our communities,” said Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr. “Fentanyl has taken a devastating toll on residents of our county, and we will continue to do everything we can to get this deadly weapon off our streets and these bad actors behind bars where they belong.”
“The success of the SCDA Fentanyl Task Force is evident with the takedown of this major narcotics operation that was spreading poison across the country and undoubtedly these arrests are saving lives,” said Suffolk County Police Commissioner Kevin Catalina. “We remain committed and will continue to allot the necessary resources to target dangerous traffickers like Larell Cambell and Carolyn Tolin who peddle dangerous narcotics for their own financial gain.”
“Winning the battle against illicit drugs is a top priority for the Postal Service and the Inspection Service,” said USPIS New York Division Acting Inspector in Charge Ed Gallashaw. “Postal Inspectors protect postal employees and the American public by leading the effort to eliminate drugs and contraband in the U.S. mail. This goal is achieved by prohibiting mail containing illegal items and dismantling Drug Trafficking Organizations on and off the dark web. I would also like to thank our partners with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office Fentanyl Task Force in sharing this mission and protecting our communities from illegal and deadly narcotics.”
According to the investigation, beginning in late December 2023, members of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Fentanyl Task Force began a probe into a narcotics trafficking operation allegedly led by Campbell and Torres.
The investigation revealed, through the execution of over 100 search warrants into vehicles, cellular telephones, residences, computers, and other digital sources of data, coupled with thousands of hours of physical, electronic and video surveillance, that Campbell and Torres were allegedly supplying large-scale amounts of fentanyl and cocaine to narcotics dealers throughout Suffolk and Nassau County.
The indictment charges Campbell with Operating as a Major Trafficker for possessing over $75,000 worth of cocaine, fentanyl and heroin from June to December 2024. Campbell’s large-scale operation was run primarily by members of his immediate family, including brothers Donail Campbell, Raheem Campbell, and Malachi Campbell, as well as Campbell’s mother, Monica Jones, girlfriend Diamond Pernell, and sister-in-law Tersherra Green. The Campbell family allegedly worked together to redistribute Larell Campbell’s product to others or assisted transporting product, supplying payments and engaging in transactions at Larell Campbell’s direction.
In December 2024, members of law enforcement executed search warrants at several residences and vehicles associated with the Campbell family in Babylon, and Amityville, allegedly recovering approximately two kilograms of cocaine, and 1.5 kilograms of heroin mixed with fentanyl and an additional 250 grams of fentanyl.
Tolin is also charged with Operating as a Major Trafficker for both possessing and selling over $75,000 worth of cocaine, fentanyl and heroin from September 2024 to March 2025. Tolin allegedly led her narcotics operation through her dark web vendor site MamaKnowsBrown that she ran out of the garage of her Centereach home. Through MamaKnowsBrown, Tolin allegedly offered heroin, fentanyl, crack cocaine and powder cocaine in varying quantities to local and nationwide customers. With each order, customers had the option to order additional fentanyl or cocaine from what Tolin allegedly referred to as the “Tip Jar.” Tolin would also allegedly allow customers multiple shipping options and the opportunity to give feedback and reviews of each product.
After receiving an order, Tolin would allegedly then arrange that the narcotics be shipped through the United States Postal Service and UPS to customers across the country totaling over 1,000 shipments to 40 different states since September 2024. Tolin would also allegedly use the rideshare application Uber to deliver products locally within Suffolk County. Tolin would receive payment for these sales in the form of an untraceable cryptocurrency totaling over $93,000 in just two and one-half months leading up to her March 2025 arrest.
Within each package that Tolin mailed or delivered, Tolin would also allegedly include an overdose warning card to the customer, detailing the potency and danger of the narcotics Tolin sold. In the overdose card, Tolin allegedly warned her customers that her product could be deadly and cautioned to have Narcan on hand when using. Narcan is a nasal spray used to reverse the effects of a life-threatening opioid overdose. Tolin also allegedly cautioned users not to use the products alone and cautioned that because of the potency, the narcotics were meant for experienced, long-term users only.
On March 14, 2025, when members of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Fentanyl Task Force and Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department executed a search warrant at Tolin’s Centereach residence and her garage, they allegedly recovered hundreds of grams of fentanyl, heroin and cocaine.
Also, inside the garage, law enforcement allegedly recovered multiple computers, cell phones, several packages in the process of allegedly being prepared for shipment, as well as a stockpile of Tolin’s signature overdose warning cards, envelopes, packaging and shipping materials, Xylazine test strips, and a digital scale.
Of the 21 defendants, 20 have been arrested and 12 have been arraigned before Acting Supreme Court Justice Richard I. Horowitz. Several of the remaining defendants are pending arraignment. Of the indicted defendants, eight are charged with bail eligible offenses. Of the bail eligible defendants, all eight of those defendants are in custody and 13 are not bail eligible under New York State law, meaning a prosecutor cannot request and a judge cannot set bail.
