A Spanish Fork man has been ordered to remain in custody under a federal indictment for allegedly giving a woman fentanyl last December that resulted in her death.

Jared Kory Titcomb, 28, is accused of supplying fentanyl to the victim on Christmas Eve of last year, according to court documents. The next morning, a family member found her dead, as a result of using fentanyl, the U.S. Attorney’s Office determined.

Law enforcement learned that the victim contacted Titcomb on Christmas Eve to purchase the drug. Through their investigation, it reportedly was discovered that the victim died of a drug overdose and had fentanyl in her system at the time of her death.

Titcomb now faces charges of distribution of fentanyl resulting in death.

The investigation is being handled by the Spanish Fork Police Department and the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force.
