Testimony heard in drug trial
Fayette County jurors heard testimony Wednesday in the drug case lodged against an Allison man accused of selling fentanyl patches to a Greene County man last year. Jeffrey Lynn Moore, 43, is charged with delivery of drugs, conspiracy to deliver drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of prescription drugs with no labeling displayed.
State police allege that he sold Geoffrey M. Dankovich eight of the pain patches for $550 on May 28, 2006. Dankovich, 27, of Greensboro and a companion used some of those patches
Dankovich died in a county hotel room the following day and an autopsy indicated that other drugs also were in his system.
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, who is in a wheelchair from a car accident several years ago, said he uses fentanyl patches to help control the pain he is in. He indicated that Anita Lynn Workman and a man he knew only as “Jeff” came to his home on May 28 to buy “knock off Nikes”
Moore indicated he had them because he goes to flea markets and buys and swaps things.
He said that he took the two into his computer room, where the tennis shoes were, and indicated that “Jeff” left for a brief time.
The next day, when he went to change the patch, Moore testified that he noticed they were gone.
The trial is scheduled to pick up this morning before President Judge Conrad B. Capuzzi.
Assistant Public Defender Susan Ritz Harper is representing Moore. Assistant District Attorney Peter U. Hook is prosecuting the case.
