Weber County man Cullin Anthony Bullen, 37, has been taken into custody by authorities following the alleged sale of fentanyl-laced pills that led to the death of another person.
According to court documents, the victim, whose identity was not disclosed, was purchased ‘roxies,’ which is slang for Roxicodone prescription pills, by Bullen from a third individual. The ‘roxies’ were then sold to the victim for $25 per pill.
The investigation, jointly conducted by the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Tremonton City Police Department, revealed that Bullen had purchased the pills for $20 each from the third individual. On December 20, 2023, the victim was found dead, with the medical examiner’s preliminary report determining the cause of death as fentanyl intoxication.
Bullen, who is 37 years old and a resident of Roy, Utah, is charged with distribution of fentanyl resulting in death. His initial court appearance on the indictment was May 29, 2024, at the United States District Courthouse in downtown Salt Lake City.
The case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Ryan N. Holtan of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah. U.S. Attorney Trina A. Higgins of the District of Utah made the announcement.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence by bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve.
An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
