WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina woman has been indicted on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of a man who overdosed on heroin.

The Winston-Salem Journal reports 29-year-old Kelsea Jewel Harris also was indicted Monday of charges including obstruction of justice and delivery of heroin. She’s accused of selling 56-year-old Kevin Paul Flaherty the heroin that led to his 2017 death .

She’s also accused of not providing any medical aid once Flaherty passed out. The indictments say Harris also tried to impede and mislead authorities by removing drug paraphernalia from the scene and covering up Flaherty to make it seem like he was sleeping.



Harris is set to appear in court Aug. 5.
