The Attorney General's office says 58-year-old Larry Dean, who had residences in Mayport, Pa., and Tucson, Ariz., made most of the crystal meth shipments.
Thirty men and women, ranging in age from 21 to 66, are facing charges. The majority are Pennsylvania residents. Two California residents and one Arizona resident are also included in those charged.
