AKRON, Ohio – A massive drug trafficking operation has been dismantled in Akron and surrounding areas, with eight individuals facing charges for their roles in the conspiracy.

According to a superseding indictment unsealed today, the defendants allegedly conspired to purchase and redistribute methamphetamine throughout the city of Akron, Portage County, and Trumbull County areas from October 2021 to April 2022.

The indictment charges Dolan Mitchell Ady, 50, of Kinsman, Ohio, Christen Tate Oakman, 27, of Akron, Ohio, Shaquille Michael Haskell, 31, of Akron, Ohio, Markus Eugene Shaw, 37, of Warren, Ohio, Jennifer Derosa, 34, of Warren, Ohio, Robert Russell Boring, 32, of Akron, Ohio, Joshua M.

Additionally, the indictment charges the defendants with felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, and possession of a firearm by a person with a prior misdemeanor domestic violence conviction.
