Bush and Demetrius Young would then call Dickerson, Chase, Mills, William Young, Sternack, and others to tell them when the cocaine and crack cocaine were ready to be picked up.
These individuals met Bush, Young, and/or one of their subordinates at locations in St. Mary’s County to obtain cocaine and crack cocaine. Bush was responsible for the distribution of between five and 15 kilograms of cocaine and between 280 grams and 840 grams of crack cocaine.
