Six Indicted In Drug Ring Covering Howard, Baltimore Counties

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — Six people have been charged for their roles in a conspiracy to distribute large amounts of fentanyl in Howard County, Baltimore County and Baltimore City that led to drug overdoses.

The defendants are 28-year-old Jawan Fulton of Pikesville; 36-year-old Darvin McCoy of Odenton; 27-year-old Maleik Moody; 23-year-old Trayvon Guest; 34-year-old Rymek Milligan; and 23-year-old Trezjure Fielding, of Baltimore.

Investigators said that from September 2021 through June 2022, Fulton and McCoy were directing an operation to distribute large amounts of fentanyl in Baltimore City, Howard County and Baltimore County. Investigators saw Fulton and McCoy supply controlled dangerous substances to multiple redistributors who then sold the drugs to customers. Those re-distributors include Maleik Moody, Rymek Milligan and Trayvon Guest.

Detectives saw hundreds of hand-to-hand drug transactions in multiple jurisdictions and intercepted communications that confirmed the distribution of large amounts of fentanyl throughout Maryland, according to Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh.

“These individuals operated a sophisticated criminal operation selling fentanyl in multiple
counties,” Frosh said in a news release. “Fentanyl has quickly become more and more prevalent
in our communities, and we know that the deadly fentanyl these individuals peddled led to
several overdoses in Maryland. We continue to work with our law enforcement partners to shut
down these violent organizations and help end the destruction caused by addiction and
overdose.”

Investigators linked fentanyl supplied by members of the operation to several overdoses in Maryland and surrounding areas. In addition to seizing more than 2 kilograms of fentanyl, the investigation resulted in the seizure of six handguns.

“Howard County continues to be a community with very low crime rates, but no place is immune
to the opioid crisis,” Howard County Executive Calvin Ball said. “People are living with
addiction and dying from overdoses in our neighborhoods and throughout the state of Maryland.
These teams of detectives worked together to take down a drug organization that was plaguing
our streets. Their tireless work and dedication led to these important indictments, which will
have a significant impact in our communities.”
