Man jailed for selling deadly fentanyl dose
12 Nov
Summary
- Man convicted of criminal negligence causing death from fentanyl sale.
- Victim died from synergistic drug intoxication involving fentanyl.
- Offender received four-year prison sentence, minus pre-sentence custody.
Mytchel Dyllon Baldwin, 27, has been sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to criminal negligence causing death. This conviction stems from the May 14, 2025, sale of two doses of fentanyl to a 39-year-old woman known to him within the local drug subculture. The victim paid $50 for each dose via e-transfers.
A third individual witnessed the transaction where both the victim and Baldwin consumed the drugs. The victim was found unresponsive approximately six hours later by her boyfriend, who attempted CPR before emergency services arrived. Paramedics were unable to revive her, and she was pronounced dead at Erie Shores HealthCare.
An autopsy revealed the cause of death was synergistic drug intoxication involving fentanyl and methamphetamine. Toxicology reports indicated a dangerously high level of fentanyl in her blood. Court documents stated Baldwin was aware of fentanyl's risks and demonstrated a wanton and reckless disregard for the victim's life.
