Philadelphia man charged in Fredericktown woman’s death
A Philadelphia man already facing felony drug and gun charges is now facing an additional charge for allegedly supplying the toxic cocktail that killed a Fredericktown woman last December.
Michael Martin, 34, was charged Wednesday with drug delivery resulting in death for his alleged involvement in the fatal overdose of Stacey Lynn Greenawalt, who was found dead in her father’s Fredericktown home Dec. 6, 2016.
According to an affidavit of probable cause filed by Cpl. Sarah Teagarden of State Police-Belle Vernon, Greenawalt was discovered dead in the early morning hours Dec. 6 of a suspected drug overdose. At the scene police found an uncapped needle and syringe, a spoon with suspected heroin residue and three stamp bags marked with a green dollar sign containing suspected heroin.
Autopsy and toxicology tests determined Greenawalt died from an overdose of combined heroin, fentanyl and cocaine. The stamp bags tested positive for heroin and fentanyl.
State police executed a search warrant at a residence at 2430 Martindale Road in Marianna and found stamp bags with the same marking that also tested positive for heroin and fentanyl.
Martin was found inside the residence with numerous drugs, including marijuana, crack cocaine and fentanyl, as well as drug paraphernalia for packaging heroin, according to the affidavit.
Police seized a cellphone belonging to Martin that contained text messages alluding to packaging and distributing drugs, states the affidavit.
The affidavit reads that between Dec. 4 and Dec. 6, 2016, “Martin delivered a quantity of these controlled substances to … Stacey Lynn Greenawalt, resulting in her death.”
In addition to the felony charge of drug delivery resulting in death, Martin faces felony and misdemeanor drug charges and a felony firearms violation for possessing a gun unlawfully due to prior convictions for robbery and aggravated assault.
Martin awaits a preliminary hearing Nov. 22 in front of Magisterial District Judge Curtis Thompson.
He is lodged in Washington County Prison.
