SIDNEY — A Sidney woman has been indicted for her alleged involvement in the drug overdose death of a man just hours after she sold him Fentanyl.
Kayla D. Hewitt, 32, at large, was indicted by the Shelby County Grand Jury, Thursday, Nov. 16, on charges of involuntary manslaughter, a first-degree felony, in the death of David Lee Slagle. According to court records, Slagle died just hours after allegedly purchasing the tablet from Hewitt, Aug. 5.
Hewitt is also charged with two counts of aggravated possession of drugs and one count of possession of criminal tools, all fifth-degree felonies. Those charges stemmed from a Feb. 6, drug-related arrest.
She will be arraigned in Shelby County Common Pleas Court at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 22, along with others indicted Thursday.
A Piqua woman stands to lose more than her freedom if she is convicted on drug charges handed down by the grand jury this week.
Mary E. Carter, 55, 700 Brook St., Piqua, is facing six drug trafficking charges following her May 8 arrest. Also at hand are specifications that authorities rule on the forfeiture of $10,620 in cash believed to be from criminal activity and her 1995 Chevrolet sedan allegedly used in drug trafficking.

Two additional counts are fifth-degree felonies involving 29 tablets of Clonazepam, and 24 tablets of Zolpidem.
