The indictment accuses Whittaker of obtaining kilogram amounts of fentanyl in pill form. He then gave the drugs to McCullum, who distributed them to street dealers, according to the document. The indictment alleges that McCullum often would drive to Whittaker’s home on Prince Avenue on Cleveland’s East Side, stay a short amount of time and then leave to meet others in the ring.Local and federal drug agents obtained text messages that show the ring used coded language to set up deals. In one text, a dealer asked for a “Three Musketeer” candy bar from a source. The indictment indicates that the dealer was actually seeking 300 fentanyl pills.
