Now Parrish is being accused of causing the Dec. 10, death of Joseph Robinson. An autopsy found that the man died of fentanyl intoxication. An investigation found that Parrish sold Robinson the fatal drug, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner said Friday. Parrish was arrested Thursday after a grand jury indicted him on first-degree strict liability homicide. He was also indicted on several other counts, including distribution of fentanyl and distribution of fentanyl and heroin.
