In one call, Salter agreed to purchase seven ounces of crystal methamphetamine or “ice cream cones” from Toney, while in others, they discussed selling larger quantities of methamphetamine, sometimes as much as a kilogram.
Agents obtained search warrants for residences associated with Salter and Toney and found numerous controlled substances. Additionally, agents found two rounds of .40 calibre ammunition at Salter’s apartment and a firearm at a house associated with Toney.
