HARRISBURG, Pa. — Attorney General Josh Shapiro today announced that a Clarion County jury has found a woman guilty for her role in delivering fentanyl to a man who died of a fentanyl overdose.
Elva Marie Warner-Confer, 42, was found guilty late yesterday of drug delivery resulting in death – a first-degree felony – delivery of a controlled substance, and possession with intent to deliver. She was charged last year by Pennsylvania State Police and the Office of Attorney General after Donald Leroy Brown, 35, was found dead in his Clarion home.
In the days before his death, Brown called Confer and told her he needed fentanyl patches. The day before Brown died, Confer confirmed to a witness that she provided Brown with three fentanyl patches that she had bought from another woman, Jennifer Lorraine Best, who was also charged in connection with the fatal overdose and is awaiting trial.
