\nOn Wednesday, multiple women were arrested and charged after an investigation into the June overdose death of an Elkton man.<\/p>\n
On June 18, detectives with the Pennyrile Narcotics Task Force were called to a residence on Williams Hill Road in Elkton, about a possible overdose.<\/p>\n
Once they arrived, a 21-year-old man was pronounced dead inside the residence by Deputy Coroner Mike Tino Cunnife. After an examination by the medical examiner\u2019s office, a toxicology report revealed that the man died from a fentanyl overdose.<\/p>\n
During the investigation, detectives gained information on 32-year-old Whitney Harper. Detectives located her at her residence and she was taken to the Christian County Sheriff\u2019s Office. During questioning, Harper admitted to supplying the deceased male with fentanyl.<\/p>\n
She told police she received money for the fentanyl and used it to purchase 25 Xananx from one of the male\u2019s family members.<\/p>\n
Further investigation revealed that 62-year-old Kimberly Moorefield of Hopkinsville, the grandmother of the victim, and his mother 41-year-old Shannon Moorefield of Elkton aided in his death.<\/p>\n
Harper was arrested on July 2nd and charged with second-degree manslaughter.<\/p>\n
Shannon was charged with complicity to second-degree manslaughter, trafficking fentanyl, first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (drug unspecified), and third-degree trafficking in a controlled substance.<\/p>\n
Kimberly was charged with complicity to second-degree manslaughter.<\/p>\n
The investigation was a joint effort by the Todd County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the Pennyrile Narcotics Task Force.
