DAVIDSON COUNTY, N.C. — Six months after a woman died by an overdose, Davidson County Sheriff’s Office said it has arrested the person who supplied her the drugs.
The investigation began on January 28, when deputies said they responded to the death of an adult female in the Wallburg community. Then in July, detectives received toxicology results from the state medical examiner’s office that confirmed the death was due to fentanyl.
As a result, detectives arrested 47-year-old Wayne Phillips on July 26. He was charged with one count of death by distribution.
Phillips was ordered to be held at the Davidson County Detention Center.
