Newport Beach police arrested a father, mother and their three teen-age sons in an alleged drug-dealing operation that was run out of the family’s home. Police say the family supplied local high school students with marijuana and cocaine. Hilary Sandra Levin, 38, a son, Scott Michael Levin, 18, and nine other juveniles--including two younger sons, 13 and 15--were arrested at the family’s home in the 21700 block of Fairlane Circle in Huntington Beach. Barry Wayne Levin, 43, was arrested at the Newport Beach City Jail when he arrived seeking to post bail for his family, police said. “We’re quite happy to have Mrs. Levin in custody,” police spokesman Kent Stoddard said. “We consider her a major source of narcotics to Newport-Harbor High students . . . . “ At the Levin home, police seized three pounds of marijuana and a quarter ounce of cocaine with a combined street value of $6,500, Stoddard said. Police also seized a small quantity of LSD and found 50 marijuana plants on the property.
