BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. — An 81-year-old woman was among 27 arrested in raids in Alabama on charges of dealing crack cocaine.
Joined by federal, state and county officers, Bayou La Batre police targeted dozens of people last week.
Margie Steiner had been secretly videotaped selling crack cocaine, police said.
Undercover officers also purchased crack at the home from Steiner’s 39-year-old daughter, Rhonda Tate, and a friend of Tate’s, 30-year-old Hue Van Tran, police said.
Steiner has filed many complaints about illegal drugs over the years.
Joyner said he didn’t know whether Steiner just started selling crack or if the complaints were a ruse to fool police.
“If she was doing it all along, she was good,” he said. “Because we’re usually on top of it.”
