New Bern woman charged in drug overdose death in Pamlico County

PAMLICO COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) – A New Bern woman is accused of giving drugs to a man who later died from an overdose.

Pamlico County deputies have charged Stephanie Nelson with death by distribution.

Back on February 10, 2024, deputies say they were called to a home on Old Bay River Road outside of Gransboro for a man’s death.

Warrants say Nelson sold fentanyl to Damian Nobles, causing his death. An obituary said the Bayboro man was 22 years old.

The 24-year-old Nelson remains in jail on a $500,000 secured bond.
