Man indicted in Columbus fentanyl trafficking case that includes overdose death

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A felon from Hilliard has been brought up on charges this week related to trafficking in fentanyl that caused an overdose death.

According to federal prosecutors, Raymond McGhee, 37, was indicted on eight total charges – distributing fentanyl resulting in a death, five other drug charges and two firearms crimes.

The charges stemmed from an April 10 incident in which a Columbus police cruiser pulled over an Infinity sedan on South Odgen Avenue, after multiple reported traffic violations near Fremont Street in the Hilltop. An open-air sniff search was conducted by a K9 unit and narcotics were sensed inside the vehicle, at the rear door of the driver’s side.
