BSO Busts Restauranteur Turned Drug Dealer Found With "Smorgasbord Of Illegal Drugs" & Lots Of Cash
POMPANO BEACH (CBSMiami) – Broward Sheriff's Office detectives say there was more on the menu at a Pompano Beach restaurant than just Chicago-style hot dogs, pizza and chili.
According to BSO, restaurateur Louis Younglove Sr. not only served up hot dogs with fixings, he was also helping people get their fix by peddling drugs.
Younglove was arrested Feb. 4 on more than a dozen drug charges following a months-long investigation.
He was arrested in the parking lot of his restaurant, Chi-Town Chicago Italian Beef & Hot Dogs, at 334 S.E. 15th St.
Between his car and his Oakland Park home, deputies say they found a "smorgasbord of illegal drugs" including cocaine, fentanyl, ecstasy, marijuana and various prescription drugs.
Detectives also found more than $500,000 in cash. Younglove's son, Adam, was a passenger in the car. He was found in possession of fentanyl and marijuana and was arrested.
