Brent Lutz
Bill Metcalf is an agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives who teams up with Brent Lutz to track down Ronnie “D.C.” Jones, the head dealer for a heroin ring that supplies drugs to Woodstock, Virginia. Metcalf is known for being aggressive—too aggressive, according to some colleagues—and likes to imagine himself as the hero of a cop show. He succeeds in arresting Jones and Jones’s Harlem supplier, Mack, but this has little effect on the flow of dangerous opioids coming into Woodstock.
