FARGO, N.D. (trfnews.i234.me) – Lydia Mallick, 26, has been charged with one count of Distribution of a Controlled Substance (fentanyl) Resulting in Death. Court records indicate the charges stem from the June 2023 death of Adam Riter, 37, who was found deceased at his home due to illicit drug use.
Mallick had previously been charged with drug trafficking offenses late last year and again over the summer. During an August 2023 traffic stop, Mallick reportedly admitted to selling fentanyl pills to Riter and another individual. According to court documents, she stated she resorted to selling drugs to support herself and her child.
Mallick is scheduled for a preliminary hearing or arraignment on January 15.
