Twenty-four individuals have been charged in a Toledo-area drug trafficking conspiracy that involved the distribution of fentanyl, cocaine, and cocaine base.
The indictment, filed in federal court, alleges that the defendants participated in a conspiracy to distribute large quantities of fentanyl, crack cocaine, and at least 5 kilograms of cocaine in the Toledo area from December 2019 through the present day.
The defendants are accused of using multiple cellular devices and code words to conceal their activity and various residences in the Toledo area to store, break down, package and distribute their narcotics and proceeds.
Twenty individuals were arrested during an early morning operation and transported to federal court in Toledo. The arrests were conducted by the FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force, Toledo Metro Drug Task Force, the Northwest Ohio Interdiction Task Force and the USMS Fugitive Task Force.
Anthony Duff, 44, Jackie Green, 51, Anthony King, 46, Antonio Mays, 46, Antuan Wynn, 45, Tomar Belcher, 46, Ray Brown, 37, Damian Dalton, 46, Mark Humphrey, 46, Kevion Jones, 23, Kimberly Marshall, 36, Orlando McCall, Sr., 45, Jeremiah Mims, 39, Marcus Odoms, 43, Christopher Simpson, 29, Daniel Ulis, Sr., 46, Demetrius Wallace, Jr., 20, Frederick Wilson, Jr., 39, Kali Kowalski, 34, Dawn Rahmstock, 54, Briana Siler, 24, Heidi Vaculik, 42, and Angela Whittecar, 42, all of Toledo, Ohio, and Marquise Figures, 35, of Wayne, Ohio, have been named in the indictment.
Defendants Duff, King, Wynn, Mims, and Ulis are all facing enhanced penalty charges due to previous felony convictions. In addition, defendant Green is charged with an additional count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Defendants are facing charges of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, cocaine, and cocaine base, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine. Defendant Green is also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The case was investigated by the FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force, Toledo Metro Drug Task Force, the Northwest Ohio Interdiction Task Force and the USMS Fugitive Task Force as part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation.
U.S. Attorney Justin Herdman, FBI Special Agent in Charge Eric B. Smith and Toledo Police Chief George Kral made the announcement.
