A 19-year-old Elberta man charged with manslaughter in the August 2022 overdose death of his 15-year-old girlfriend was arrested by the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office Tuesday and charged with distributing drugs to a minor.

The Mobile Metro Jail docket shows Jackson Powell Lewis was taken into custody just after 10 a.m. Tuesday.

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office said in a release Tuesday it was contacted by officials at Mary G. Montgomery about the attempted sale of what was believed to be fentanyl to a student.

The sheriff’s office launched an undercover investigation which led to Lewis’ arrest Tuesday.

Lewis was indicted for manslaughter in June 2023 in the death of 15-year-old Adrianna Taylor, who was found unresponsive in her Semmes home on Aug. 31, 2022 — days shy of her 16th birthday.

Taylor was a student at Mary G. Montgomery High School at the time of her death. Investigators said at the time Taylor had told her parents vape pens laced with fentanyl were passed around her school.

Lewis is accused of providing Taylor with marijuana and/or Xanax laced with fentanyl, causing her death, according to court documents. After he was indicted, Lewis was taken into custody on Sept. 7, 2023 and was released in November after posting $75,000 bond.

With Tuesday’s arrest, the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office has filed a motion to have that bond revoked and Lewis held pending trial, which is set for Sept. 23.

Although 17 at the time of Taylor’s death, Lewis is being tried as an adult and in November his motion to be granted youthful offender status was denied.

If convicted, Lewis faces 2-20 years in prison.
