SALT LAKE CITY — A Weber County man made his first court appearance last week in a case stemming from a December death linked to fentanyl he allegedly sold.

According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah, a U.S. magistrate judge ordered Cullin Anthony Bullen, 37, of Roy, “to remain in custody following the alleged (sale) of pills containing fentanyl which resulted in the death of another person.”

Bullen is charged with distribution of fentanyl resulting in death and made his initial appearance Wednesday at the U.S. District Courthouse in downtown Salt Lake City.

The press release also gives some information about his case.

“According to court documents, Cullin Anthony Bullen, 37, of Roy, Utah, was contacted on December 19, 2023 by the victim in a drug case resulting in death. As alleged, the victim…purchased “roxies,” which is slang for Roxicodone prescription pills. Bullen purchased 25 to 30 pills from a third person for $20 each. Bullen then sold the “roxies” to the victim for $25 per pill. On December 20, 2023, the victim was found dead. The medical examiner's preliminary report determined the victim's cause of death was fentanyl intoxication.

Bullen was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 8.

Dating back to 2009, he has multiple felony and misdemeanor convictions in Utah District Court, primarily for drug-related charges.
