Atlantic City Woman Indicted On Drug Death: Feds

NEWARK, NJ — An Atlantic City woman was indicted for dealing heroin and fentanyl that killed a person, the feds announced Tuesday. The deceased victim had multiple wax folds of heroin and fentanyl that were stamped with the words "BODY COUNT," according to U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito.

Rajeri Curry was charged in March with one count of distribution of heroin and fentanyl that resulted in a death, one count of conspiracy to distribute heroin and one count of possession with the intent to distribute heroin, authorities said.

Law enforcement found the deceased victim inside a vehicle in an Atlantic City restaurant's parking lot. Shortly before the unidentified 30-year-old victim's death, surveillance footage showed Curry giving them drugs.

The drug distribution resulting in death charge carries a maximum punishment of life in prison and a fine of $1 million. The other counts are each punishable by a maximum of 20 years in prison.
