Four Butler women and a Philadelphia man face charges brought by a statewide grand jury for their alleged roles in a drug ring that investigators say trafficked an estimated $400,000 worth of fentanyl from Philadelphia to Butler County.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said the drug operation involved at least three dozen trips across the state to transport a kilo of fentanyl, or more than two pounds enough for an estimated 50,000 individual doses.
The five defendants include: Desirae Feitl, 34; Jodi Shirey, 50; Brandi Zediker, 24; and Crystal Pakutz, 28; who all live in the city of Butler; and Quinzal “Slim” Powell of Philadelphia, court records show. Shapiro announced the indictments against the five suspects on Friday.
