Mackenzie Sarah Allen, of Glenolden, gave the victim wax paper marked “Lamborghini” that contained fentanyl the day before he died in May 2021, Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said.
Allen was charged with drug delivery resulting in death, involuntary manslaughter, delivery of a controlled substance, and other related charges.
Police responding to a Spruce Street home in Darby the morning of May 22 found the victim unresponsive on a bed, and CPR was attempted, the DA said. Medical personnel also responded -- despite those efforts, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
A female witness who was also on location had attempted CPR on the victim prior to the arrival of the police and medical personnel. An autopsy was conducted, and the medical examiner determined that the cause of death was complications from fentanyl intoxication.
Detectives found texts between Allen and the victim exchanged around 2 p.m. the previous day.
A witness and the victim had met up with Allen on Stratford Road in Glenolden and had bought seven Xanax pills for $35. Both the victim and the witness took some of the Xanax without any adverse reaction.
A brief search of the premises turned up a white wax paper fold that was on the floor near to the victim’s body, authorities said. The paper was partially ripped, and bore an imprinted stamp of a Lamborghini logo.
A search of the victim's cell phone revealed that he texted Allen asking: "Is there any way you can spare 2 bags.” A search of Allen's home turned up numerous empty wax paper folds with various stamps on them, including eight with the Lamborghini logo identical to the paper found on the premises of the victim on June 4, 2021 the DA's office said.
On Sept. 13, 2021, the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Forensic Services confirmed that the wax paper recovered from the victim’s premises contained fentanyl. Two days later, the SPB said the wax paper marked “Lamborghini” that were recovered from the defendant’s premises contained fentanyl.
A drug delivery resulting in death charge is issued to a person who intentionally administers, dispenses, delivers, gives, prescribes, sells or distributes any controlled substance or counterfeit controlled substance and another person die as a result of using the substance. The charge carries a maximum possible sentence of 20 to 40 years in prison.
Allen was being held at the George W Hill Correctional Facility. Bail was set at $500,000, cash. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled before the Honorable Steven A. Sandone on Feb. 1, 2022.
