>But in a tactic authorities called one of the first of

>The new strategy, called sanctions-based demand

>General Larry D. Thompson, and it has gone into use
>here in the last six months, said J.B. Van Hollen, the
>U.S. attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin.

>According to the charges against the man authorities
>identified as the online dealer, Thomaz W. Franzl, 27,
>of Chicago had a menu of 13 different substances that
>ranged from common prescription drugs, such as Ritalin
>and Percocet, to cocaine and methamphetamine.

>The Rhinelander man who became an informant after he
>was arrested used his credit cards to purchase more
>than $6,000 in cocaine, OxyContin and Ketamine from
>Franzl between October 2003 and June 2004, according
>to an affidavit filed in federal court in Madison last

>"Before, we probably would have just taken Mr. Franzl

>But in this case, the first involving Internet drug

>roughly the western two-thirds of the state -
>authorities from the federal Drug Enforcement
>Administration and the North Central Drug Enforcement
>Group, a conglomerate of several northern Wisconsin
>law enforcement agencies, pretended to fill Internet
>orders.

>Prosecuting drug users has been primarily the

>kingpins and big-time dealers. But foreign countries
>that the government has been pressuring to curb their
>drug exports have responded that the United States is
>not limiting drug demand, Van Hollen said.

>Because Franzl's alleged illegal operation used the
>Internet, federal prosecutors were able to increase
>the charges against his suspected customers. On Oct. 6
>a federal grand jury in Madison indicted nine of
>Franzl's would-be customers not only on an attempted
>drug possession charge, which carries a sentence of up
>to one year, but also with one count of using the
>Internet to facilitate the unlawful distribution of a
>controlled substances. That charge has a maximum
>four-year sentence.

>Mostly professionals
>The accused customers were mostly white-collar
>professionals, according to Tim O'Shea, the federal
>prosecutor assigned to the case. Authorities said the
>seven men and two women included a 20-year-old female
>college student at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania who
>ordered Ritalin and Adderall; a 26-year-old public
>relations man in Chicago who ordered Ketamine; and a
>Glendale man who tried to have cocaine delivered to
>the house he shares with his parents.

>The nine people charged have been ordered to appear in

>They are:

>Thomas Bronson, 46, of Somerville, Mass.; Steven
>Cornute, 21, of North Hills, Calif.; Ashley Hans, 20,
>of Collegeville, Pa.; Matthew Harper, 27, of
>Nashville, Tenn.; Jonathan Houlihan, 31, of Glendale;
>Brandon Jenkins, 21, of Scenery Hill, Pa.; Dane
>Kinchen, 20, of Richmond, Va.; Vince LaConte, 28, of
>Chicago; and Nicole Sears, 26, of West Sacramento,
>Calif.

>Prosecuting Internet drug dealers' customers, Van
>Hollen said, sends a signal to others who order drugs
>on the Web or through the mail thinking it is safer
>than going into rough neighborhoods to purchase drugs.

>No more hiding in offices
