Washington man sentenced to prison for couple’s drug overdose deaths
A Washington man who helped to facilitate the sale of a deadly batch of fentanyl that ultimately killed two people more than three years ago was sentenced to state prison Friday.
Lorenzo Brian Lloyd was sentenced in Washington County Court of Common Pleas to serve 4 1⁄2 to 9 years in prison in connection with the drug overdose deaths of a Canton Township couple in 2021.
Lloyd, 37, pleaded guilty April 16 to two counts of drug delivery resulting in death – along with additional charges of possession with intent to deliver and simple possession of drugs in an unrelated case – as part of an open plea that gave Judge Jesse Pettit discretion on the sentence.
Lloyd was one of three men accused of helping to supply stamp bags of fentanyl to David and Nannette Dennick, who were found dead inside their Canton Township home Feb. 27, 2021.
State police said Nannette Dennick contacted Mitchell William Logan about purchasing heroin hours before the couple’s death. She drove with Logan to West Maiden Street, where stamp bags were purchased by Lloyd from Zaeshown Jaheim Kimbrew, police said. While she apparently had expected to purchase heroin, the bags contained only fentanyl, police said.
Kimbrew, 23, of Aliquippa, pleaded guilty in July 2022 to two counts of drug delivery resulting in death, and was sentenced to serve 6 to 12 years in prison.
Logan, 31, of Washington, pleaded guilty June 26 to lesser charges of possession with intent to deliver and sentenced to just under three years in jail followed by three years on probation, according to online court documents. Two counts of drug delivery resulting in death were withdrawn as part of the plea deal.
Lloyd has been held at the Washington County jail on $500,000 bond since his arrest in July 2021, so he will be given credit for time served. His public defender, Rose Semple, could not be reached for comment Monday.
