STOCKTON, Calif. — The man who allegedly sold a 20-year-old woman a lethal dose of fentanyl in April has been arrested, San Joaquin County Sheriff's deputies say.
20-year-old Kirk Romanofsky of Lockeford is accused of selling fentanyl to a 20-year-old woman who was later found dead in a hotel room in between the cities of Stockton and Lodi on Apr. 9.
Authorities have not said whether the woman knew she was purchasing fentanyl.
Deputies obtained a warrant for Romanofsky's arrest. He was found Oct. 13 in the 19800 block of Elliot Road in Lockeford and taken into custody without incident, deputies said in a Facebook post Friday.
Court records show Romanofsky was charged with involuntary manslaughter and possession or purchase for sale of narcotics or controlled substances.
Romanofsky, who was appointed a public defender, is booked at the San Joaquin County Jail and is expected to appear in court for bail review on Nov. 7.
