Easton, Pa. (AP) - The Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office says it has broken up a $2.5 million marijuana distribution ring that moved the drug from New York to the Easton area and then resold it on Kutztown University's campus.

Attorney General Tom Corbett said Friday that the bust has netted nine arrests. One man remains at large and is believed to be in the New York area.

The bust is the result of an investigation that started in the summer of 2008 on Kutztown's campus.

The ring's business operations were shut down in September when authorities executed a series of search warrants and seized $30,000 from accounts, 11 vehicles and four weapons.

Corbett said the case will be prosecuted in Berks County.
