MOUNT HOLLY, NJ.- On Thursday, August 12, 2021 Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina announced that a Grand Jury sitting in Burlington County, New Jersey has returned an indictment against a Trenton Drug Dealer for causing the death of a Pemberton Township man who fatally overdosed on fentanyl he sold to him last summer.
The Grand Jury indicted Marvin Montoya, 34, of Trenton, New Jersey on charges of First Degree Strict Liability for Drug-Induced Death; Third Degree Distribution of a Controlled Dangerous Substance; and Third Degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance with Intent to Distribute.
The indictment was returned August 3, 2021 and signed by Prosecutor Coffina. An arraignment will be held in Superior Court. Montoya has been lodged in the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly, New Jersey since being arrested in March 2020.
The investigation began after Michael Williams, 23, was discovered by a relative in their Browns Mills home the morning of August 11, 2020, after he failed to get up for work. The investigation revealed that Williams had previously traveled to Trenton and purchased the drugs from Montoya in the City’s North Ward.
An autopsy performed by Burlington County Medical Examiner Dr. Ian Hood determined that Williams succumbed to fentanyl toxicity.
The case was presented to the grand jury by Assistant Prosecutor Michael Angermeier, supervisor of the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office Gang, Gun and Narcotics Task Force. The investigation was conducted by the Pemberton Township Police Department, with assistance from the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office High-Tech Crimes Unit. The lead investigator is Pemberton Township Lt. Jay Watters.
