Monday, March 20, 2017
GoLocal LIVE will feature a two-day special live interview with former drug kingpin, Charles “The Ghost” Kennedy.
On Monday and Tuesday at 3:00 PM, Kennedy will discuss growing up in a middle class family in Warwick, his career in crime as a major drug dealer, his time in federal prison with Buddy Cianci, and his life after prison.
Kennedy’s career is legendary — designated by the U.S. Department of Justice as a 'drug kingpin," he ran one of the largest cocaine and marijuana businesses on the East Coast. Kennedy, called “The Ghost” by federal and state law enforcement because he was so difficult to catch, was a major partner with the Columbian drug cartel.

Life After Crime
The discussion with Kennedy is a rare insight into the life of a major drug dealer -- and what life is like after 15 years in prison.
"The Ghost" was chased by law enforcement for decades while he was creating a multi-million dollar drug business.
Kennedy’s career was intertwined with the Patriarca crime family, Whitey Bulger, and Buddy Cianci.
