Dandre Tubbs pleaded guilty to manslaughter and dealing fentanyl on Monday, June 13, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer.

The plea was in connection with the death of a 35-year-old man in Manchester on Aug. 16, 2021, Billhimer said.

Officers from the Manchester Township Police Department responded to a residence for an unresponsive male. Police discovered the man was already dead from an apparent drug overdose.

A subsequent investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit and Manchester Township Police Department Detective Bureau determined that Tubbs supplied fentanyl to the victim, Billhimer said. A toxicology report confirmed the presence of fentanyl in the victim’s system. 

On Aug. 19, 2021, Tubbs was arrested by Manchester Township police during a motor vehicle stop. He has been held in the Ocean County Jail since his arrest.
