5 Youngstown men indicted on 10 federal counts of distributing heroin, crack

Staff report

CLEVELAND

A federal grand jury returned a 100-count indictment charging five Youngstown men with distributing heroin and crack cocaine, with a specification concerning a fatal overdose last year, the U.S. Attorney and FBI said.

The indictment includes a sentencing enhancement charging that one of the defendants, Shayne Mascarella, 22, supplied the heroin that caused someone’s death on July 19, 2015, in Youngstown.

Besides Mascarella, those indicted are William Williams, 33; Derrick Brown, 35; Tyrell Hollis, 22, and Emmanuel Bunkley, 35.

“This group spread misery throughout the Mahoning Valley in the name of profit,” U.S. Attorney Steven M. Dettelbach said. “They destroyed families. ... We will continue to do all we can to curtail Ohio’s opioid epidemic, including vigorous criminal prosecutions,” he added.
