Utah man charged for allegedly giving woman the fentanyl that killed her on Christmas morning

SALT LAKE CITY ( ABC4 ) — A Utah County man was federally charged this week after being accused of supplying the fentanyl that killed a woman on Christmas morning.

Jared Kory Titcomb, 28, of Spanish Fork, allegedly distributed the fentanyl to the woman on Christmas Eve 2023. The next morning, a family member found her dead — which the U.S. District Attorney’s Office said was a result of her using the fentanyl.

Law enforcement conducted an investigation and reportedly found the woman had reached out to Titcomb on Christmas Eve to purchase the lethal drug. Those investigations also revealed the woman had died of a drug overdose, and that she had fentanyl in her system at the time of her death.

As a result, Titcomb was charged with distribution of fentanyl resulting in death.

This investigation is being investigated by the Spanish Fork Police Department and the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force.

There is no further information available at this time.

Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
