31 year old Craig Petties, half brother of 3 6 Mafia's DJ Paul, was arrested in Mexico and is facing 56 charges in federal court.

A 70 page indictment contains details that he ran a elaborate drug operation from 1995 until this year.

"So far we've had seizures of almost $3 million, little over 2.9 million and something like 40 vehicles and over $600,000 in cash," said U.S. Attorney David Kustoff.

Petties and his co-defendants are all in federal custody. If convicted of all charges, he and his associates could face life in prison or the death penalty.

Prosecutors haven't yet to determine what punishments they will seek.
