San Bernardino was a Southern [[California]] city where the [[Danilo Blandon|Blandón]]-[[Norwin Meneses|Meneses]] [[cocaine]] network distributed drugs, extending the [[Contras|Contra]]-connected trafficking operation beyond [[Los Angeles]]. The city was part of the broader distribution network that moved Contra-connected cocaine throughout the Southland.[^1]
### Distribution Network
[[Ricky Ross|"Freeway" Ricky Ross]]'s cocaine distribution operation, supplied by Blandón's Contra-connected network, extended from [[South Central Los Angeles]] to cities throughout Southern California including San Bernardino. The spread of crack cocaine through these communities was a direct consequence of the Blandón-Meneses trafficking pipeline, which moved thousands of kilos of cocaine into the region during the 1980s.[^2]
