BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) – A man was arrested for being a supplier to a drug ring, leading to the arrest of 17 people in Boynton Beach.

According to Attorney General Ashley Moody's office, 42-year-old William Moyo was responsible for supplying large quantities of cocaine and fentanyl to Operation Big Boi, a drug ring run by Johnson Joseph, which distributed the drugs throughout Palm Beach County.

“Law enforcement continues to take poison traffickers and their deadly products off our streets, and this latest arrest should serve as a warning to anyone seeking to smuggle drugs in our state. Florida law enforcement will track you down, and my prosecutors will make sure you go to prison,” said Attorney General Ashley Moody.

During a search of Moyo's apartment, authorities said they found more than 20 kilograms of cocaine.

Moyo is charged with trafficking 400 grams of cocaine but less than 150 grams and conspiracy to traffic 400 grams or more of cocaine but less than 10 grams.

He was wearing all-black clothing and black sneakers at the time. An image of a black compact sedan that may have been involved in the incident was also included.
