Celeb DJ indicted in cocaine ring

Los Angeles - A celebrity disc jockey and 13 others have been indicted in an alleged cocaine ring that authorities say used private jets to shuttle drugs from coast to coast.

Among those facing drug trafficking and money laundering charges is Darrin Ebron, who runs Goodlife American Clothing and was the DJ at Eddie Murphy's 2008 nuptials in Bora Bora. The 43-year-old Ebron and three others are being sought by investigators. Several arrests have already been made.

If convicted, each of the defendants could face up to life in prison.

Authorities allege the ring smuggled hundreds of kilograms of cocaine via private jets from Southern California to Baltimore. They seized nearly 300kg of cocaine and $1.1m.

Dana Sarabeck, a former spokesperson for Ebron's clothing line, declined to comment. The phone number to Goodlife's office was disconnected.
