PITTSBURGH, PA – A Cleveland resident has been caught up in a web of fentanyl and cocaine trafficking crimes, which he has now admitted to in a federal court in Pennsylvania.
Ravon Crockett, 46, of Cleveland, Ohio, pled guilty to conspiring to distribute fentanyl and cocaine between March 2020 and August 2021, and distributing fentanyl and cocaine on November 16, 2020.
