Baldwin County woman arrested for allegedly selling fentanyl to man who died of overdose

After a man died from a drug overdose in January, the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of the woman who allegedly sold him fentanyl.

According to jail records, Samantha Sheehan was arrested Wednesday and charged with manslaughter.

According to the sheriff’s office, officers were called to a residence in Foley on Jan. 3 in reference to a reported death.

Upon arrival, officers found what they deemed to be evidence of drugs and drug paraphernalia.

The Baldwin County Coroner’s Office and the Baldwin County Drug Task Force were subsequently called to help investigate.

According to BCSO, the coroner’s office determined that the man had a fatal level of fentanyl in his system when he passed.

The agency said “digital forensics” were then used to determine that Sheehan had allegedly sold the man 3.5 grams fentanyl.

After obtaining a warrant and arresting Sheehan, BCSO said that she admitted to selling the victim fentanyl.

“On February 12, 2025, Sheehan was arrested and interviewed regarding this case and she admitted to taking part in providing fentanyl to the decedent,” the agency said.

“Sheehan was booked into the Baldwin County Corrections Center and is being held on a No Bond.”
