## Resource

Gilbert police arrested Frederick McCullough, a 49-year-old repeat drug dealer with seven prior felony convictions, after linking him to a fatal overdose via text messages on the victim’s phone. Undercover officers bought drugs from him in Tempe, including cocaine and meth, as he allegedly planned bigger deals. A raid on his Phoenix apartment uncovered more suspected drugs and packaging materials. Facing eleven new felony charges—including possession, transportation for sale, and conspiracy—McCullough was initially asked for a $75,000 bond but was granted $50,000. His case carries heavy weight, especially given his alleged role in someone’s death while on parole. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
