Jack Papandreou, one of the former managers of the now closed Jack's Pizza in Grayslake, plead not guilty to drug conspiracy charges in court this week, reported the Daily Herald.

One of the former managers of the shuttered Jack's Pizza and Burgers in Grayslake plead not guilty this week to three counts of criminal drug conspiracy, reported the Daily Herald.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency reportedly has telephone recordings of 37-year-old Jack Papandreou involving drug deals with his brother while he (Jack) was in prison in Indiana, according to the Daily Herald.

In May 2011, Papandreou and his two brothers managed Jack's Pizza in Grayslake and Waukegan when employees were arrested in a cocaine ring bust, reported Patch.
