Shore Woman Gave Man Heroin, Fentanyl In McDonald's Death: Feds

A New Jersey woman has been charged with giving a man fentanyl and heroin called "BODY COUNT" before he was found dead in a McDonald's parking lot, authorities said.

Rajeri Curry, 30, of Atlantic City was charged with one count of possession with the intent to distribute heroin and one count of distribution of heroin and fentanyl that resulted in a death, US Attorney Craig Carpenito announced in a release on Thursday.

Curry had an initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge James B. Clark III in Newark federal court this week and was detained without bail, according to the release.

According to the release, Curry distributed a substance containing heroin and fentanyl to an individual who died as a result of using the substance last summer.

On the evening of June 1, 2018, 30-year-old Jeffrey Giannini, was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a vehicle parked in the McDonald’s parking lot at 31 N. Arkansas Ave., Atlantic City, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.

Giannini had suffered a fatal overdose. Approximately two hours earlier surveillance cameras in the area captured Curry selling the drugs to Giannini. Next to his body were several bags of heroin that were tested by the New Jersey State Police laboratory and were positive for heroin and fentanyl, accordng to the ACPO.

Inside the victim’s vehicle were multiple wax folds that contained heroin and fentanyl and were stamped with the words “BODY COUNT,” according to the release.

The drug distribution resulting in death charge carries a maximum punishment of life in prison and a fine of $1 million.
