Darian Glover, a 29-year-old Memphis man, has been convicted of distributing fentanyl that caused the deaths of three people in a devastating overdose incident. On June 20, 2024, Glover sold what the victims believed was cocaine to M.P., who then hosted a gathering at a residence in Collierville, Tennessee, where the fatal overdoses occurred. The next day, at 1:51 AM, police responded to a report of a drug overdose and found M.P., L.P., and A.T. unresponsive on the back porch.
The investigation revealed that Glover had sold M.P. the fentanyl, which was later confirmed by lab tests on a white powdery substance found at the scene. The substance was found on a dollar bill on the table where the victims were seated, and it tested positive for fentanyl. The victims’ cell phones were also seized as evidence, further linking Glover to the crime.
Glover’s conviction is a significant blow to the fentanyl trade in Memphis, which has been plagued by overdose deaths in recent years. The case highlights the dangers of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that can be deadly even in small amounts. Glover’s actions were reckless and devastating, and his conviction serves as a warning to others who would engage in similar activities.
The conviction was announced by United States Attorney D. Michael Dunavant for the Western District of Tennessee, who praised the work of law enforcement in bringing Glover to justice. The case was investigated by the Collierville Police Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, with assistance from federal agencies.
