Monessen Man Charged With Overdose Deaths In Area

A Monessen man who is accused of supplying the heroin and fentanyl that killed three people, including one person in Charleroi this summer, has been held for trial.  According to a report in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, 30-year-old Delmar Pritchett was arrested last week in connection with the overdose death of Tamara Hill in Monessen on June 15th.  Authorities believe Pritchett sold her the fentanyl that killed her.  DEA agents say they also suspect that Pritchett’s heroin and fentanyl were responsible for two other fatal overdoses in August in Charleroi and Apollo and two non-fatal overdoses in Monessen and Fayette County.
