\n

Authorities say the man overdosed and died in March of 2025. Over the last year, Partners Against Narcotics Trafficking (PANT) Detectives investigated the case and arrested the suspected dealer, 33-year-old Kyle Guanell of Mesa.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

On May 21, PANT arrested Guanell at the Maricopa County Superior Court.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

He is accused of manslaughter, the sale of lethal fentanyl, transportation of narcotic drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia, YCSO said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

“Drug dealers will be held accountable for overdose deaths,” said Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes. “They knowingly sell a deadly drug and should be held responsible. We will tirelessly pursue justice to ensure they face the full weight of the criminal justice system.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

YCSO said the Prescott Police Department was a huge collaborator, and the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office was very helpful in this case.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
