The man whom authorities say was one of the main suppliers of the “Main Line Takeover” drug ring this week pleaded guilty to multiple charges related to the drug ring.

Timothy C. Brooks, 19, of Villanova pleaded guilty on Tuesday, Oct. 21, to possession with intent to deliver, criminal conspiracy and being a member of a corrupt organization, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Other charges are expected to be dropped upon sentencing, the Inquirer said; Brooks could get up to 16 months.

Brooks, along with fellow Haverford School graduate Neil K. Scott, was accused of running a drug ring on the Main Line that sold cocaine, marijuana, hash oil and ecstasy to other Main Line students, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office said at the time of Brooks’ April arrest.

The two employed high school students at Lower Merion, Harriton, Radnor and Conestoga high schools as dealers in their drug ring, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said at the time. Additionally, they employed college students at Haverford, Gettysburg and Lafayette colleges.

Multiple subdealers of the drug ring already have pleaded guilty.

Christian Euler, 23, of Villanova, who attended Lafayette College, pleaded guilty to three misdemeanors in August. As part of his plea deal, he agreed to testify against others should their cases go to trial.

Reid Cohen, Garrett Johnson, Willow Orr and Dominic Curcio in July pleaded guilty to numerous drug charges and also agreed to testify against others should their cases go to trial.

Additionally, a Radnor teen in July admitted his role in the drug ring and was sentenced to community service. The teenager was 17 at the time of his arrest and was tried as a juvenile. Though he is now 18, his name will not be made public.

Brooks is expected to be sentenced this fall, the Inquirer said. Scott is expected in court next week.
