For the second time this year, a Franklin County woman is charged with providing the fentanyl that killed a person. Jenna Hayden, 37, was charged Nov. 6 with drug delivery resulting in death , involuntary manslaughter and related offenses, according to court records. She is currently in Cumberland County Prison in lieu of $100,000 bail as her previous drug-delivery-resulting-in-death case continues through the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas. The latest investigation into Hayden began after a person was found deceased on March 21 in a home in the 500 block of South Main Street, Chambersburg, according to the criminal complaint. Police went to the home to conduct a welfare check after a caller reported they had not heard from the person. After police could not make contact with anyone at the home, personnel from the borough fire department used a ladder to look in through a window and saw the person, who appeared to be dead, lying on a bed. The county coroner's office confirmed the death and conducted a urine screen of the victim, which showed the presence of fentanyl and cocaine. In the kitchen police found a glassine baggie with a blueish-gray powdery substance and paraphernalia used

Some still use pencil and paper scoring, and a few look like nobody has moved the furniture since your parents were kids.
