Minnie Faye Lynn
A Chattanooga woman has been charged in an overdose fentanyl death.
Last May 31, police responded to a Menlo Street apartment in order to investigate the death of 28-year-old Courtney Partin. She was found at Minnie Faye Lynn’s apartment. An investigator found her death was caused by fentanyl and methamphetamine toxicity.
Police interviewed Ms. Lynn, after finding that Ms. Partin had contacted her about obtaining roxycodone pills. Police said this correspondence was taken from Ms. Lynn’s cell phone, and that the suspect did the deal at the Menlo Street apartment.
Police said Ms. Lynn helped Ms. Partin get the pills she wanted, and that Ms. Lynn told them Ms. Partin took a “roxy 30” in the early hours of May 31. Police said Ms. Lynn knew the pills contained fentanyl.
On Monday, police made contact with Ms. Lynn, 43, and took her into custody. She is charged with second-degree murder and drugs for resale.
Ms. Partin was a native of Chattanooga who had been living at Decatur, Tn.
She left three children behind.
