LITTLE ROCK (AP) - A three-year investigation into an alleged methamphetamine ring in northeast Arkansas that distributed the drug from Mexico to cities in at least four other states has resulted in the arrests of more than 65 people.

U.S. Attorney Jane Duke from Little Rock said the meth had a purity level of greater than 80 percent and was shipped to hubs in Dallas, Phoenix, and San Diego to the Batesville area in Arkansas before distribution to cities including Memphis, Tenn.; Kansas City, Mo.; Des Moines, and Indianapolis.

The operation was dubbed "Tienda Hielo" or "Ice Store."
