An Elkton family allegedly involved in a drug ring arrived in federal court Tuesday morning.

Several members of the Crawford family, that owns O'Dells Grocery in Elkton, face drug and weapons charges.

Crawford's daughter-in-law, Melissa Ann, pleaded guilty Tuesday on charges including conspiracy to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine and cocaine.

She agreed to a plea deal that dismisses all the other charges.

Vern O'Dell Crawford, who is the supposed leader of the drug ring, faces 17 counts for which he is also in court Tuesday.
