PALM DESERT (CNS) - A 39-year-old Palm Desert woman accused of selling fentanyl that led to a man's death was being held in lieu of $1 million bail today, authorities said.
Tiffany Wright was arrested Tuesday by personnel from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department's Overdose Death Investigations and Narcotics Unit and the Coachella Valley Narcotics Task Force.
Wright was booked into the John Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of homicide and selling fentanyl.
On March 20, deputies from the sheriff's Palm Desert station responded to a call about an unresponsive adult male in the 46000 block of Ryway Place. They determined that 32-year-old Cameron Bridges was dead at the scene.
His death was later determined to be caused by fentanyl poisoning, according to the sheriff's department.
Fentanyl is 100 times stronger than morphine, according to authorities.
The sheriff's department urged anyone who has additional information about the ongoing investigation to contact master investigator Robert Cornett at 951-955-1700.
