San Diego
A year-old federal grand jury indictment unsealed Monday links two San Diego County men to charges related to the eight-year federal investigation of the “Coronado Company” drug-smuggling ring, U.S. Atty. Peter Nunez announced.
Gregory Allen Stames, whose last known address was in Rancho Santa Fe, and Stephen Robert Hilz, last known to live in Vista, were named in a sealed indictment returned in October, 1984, charging them with importing, possessing and distributing Thai stick marijuana in the San Diego area, Nunez said.
The indictment further charges Stames with failing to report more than $1 million in income to the Internal Revenue Service in 1977 and 1978, in part by filing inaccurate escrow documents to conceal the full value of his Rancho Santa Fe home.
Neither man is in custody.
