An arrest warrant was issued Friday for a Hiller man who allegedly sold drugs that caused the death of a woman last year.

Chaz Franklin Rankin, 27, of 6th Street was charged with drug delivery resulting in death.

According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in his case, 48-year-old Jennifer K. Ward died from combined drug toxicity in her 204 South Main Street apartment in Point Marion Aug. 4. A toxicology report determined she ingested fentanyl, morphine, buprenorphine and Benadryl.

Rankin reportedly told her husband, William V. Ward, to be careful and not use a whole bag because it was strong. He purchased 10 stamp bags of heroin from Rankin for $80, court documents said. Ward told police he snorted half a bag, and gave the rest to his wife, relaying it was strong and might be pure fentanyl.

He said she snorted one stamp bag and later vomited, police said. That evening, they reportedly split half a bag. When he woke up in the night at about 2:30 or 3 a.m., he realized his wife had not moved and tried to wake her up.

He realized her lips were blue and rushed to the neighbor’s for help, who called 911.

Point Marion EMS attempted to revive the woman, but she had already died, according to court paperwork.

Ward identified Rankin from a photo lineup, according to state police. He knew the man by only his first name, according to the affidavit.
