Allison man held for trial in drug case
Jeffrey Lynn Moore, 43, of Allison was recently held for trial in Fayette County Common Pleas Court for allegedly selling fentanyl to a Greene County man earlier this year. Fentanyl – a drug prescribed for the type of chronic pain that cancer patients endure – contributed to the death of Geoffrey M. Dankovich on May 28, state police alleged.
Moore allegedly sold Dankovich eight of the fentanyl patches for $550 and a small amount of marijuana on May 27. Police said Anita Lynn Workman, 39, of Greensboro took Dankovich to Moore’s home to buy the drugs.
Workman waived her right to a preliminary hearing on criminal conspiracy to deliver drugs.
Dankovich, 27, of Greensboro died in a hotel room the next day. Coroner Dr. Phillip E. Reilly ruled that he died of a drug overdose, and listed cocaine, opiates, fentanyl and benzodiazepines (tranquilizers).
Police said Dankovich and a companion used three of the patches, and the five unused ones were found in the hotel room. Each put one patch on the body, and they split the third patch in half, and ingested it orally.
As part of their investigation into Dankovich’s death, police served a warrant at Moore’s home and reportedly found more than $2,000, the painkiller Oxycontin, weighing scales, plastic bags used to package drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Moore is charged with delivery of drugs, conspiracy to deliver drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of prescription drugs with no labeling displayed.
